It is up to each of us the responsibility to enhance or rather trivialize the March, 8th. The struggles for the right to vote, emancipation, employment, equality, and finally the gender difference, Equal Opportunities and still planning clinics, kindergartens, free sexuality, years of feminism all the other meanings that gradually the women's movement has chosen its way of giving to March 8th, sometimes seem to be drowned out by wild consumerism. March 8th is much morethan this. It represents a day that belongs to the historical memory. It's up to us to carry it forward as a challenge for the future. # ZEROMIMOSE is promoted by the Councillorship for young politics in order to go beyond the actof consumption of the purchase of mimosa. To reinforce the value of March 8th. To give impetus to the task of the younger generation, which is to put in the date of March 8th, not dropping the battles of the previous generations, as women in the time in which they live. In Italy in 2014, the violence against women is tragically the leading cause of death among women. March 8th, will become a collective path along the body of women, focusing through art and creativity on the parts of the female body that will become the center stage not as an object but something of the subject. Eyes, mouth, hands and feet of woman become looks of photographers and directors, voices of actresses and journalists, gestures of seamstresses and factory workers, athletes and dancers steps. Parts of the body of women who are not the subject of violence but productive subject of work and dignity.
