Instead they must remember, and we will do everything possible to ensure that they have the tools, that with will and awareness they can achieve any type of goal ».

«My commitment - she explained - is for Italian women who are forced to face very great difficulties every day to see their talent affirmed, to see their sacrifices recognized, just as it is my daily commitment to find solutions so that the women of this nation can assert oneself fully , without making any sacrifices of any kind, because it is not right".
