ROME, Dec. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
On Radar takes off, the first meeting of the Think Tank of Fondazione
Internazionale Menarini
Setting real changes in motion through dialogue among experts in order to
tackle the unresolved issues of juvenile distress. This was the topic addressed
during the first meeting of the 'On Radar' Think Tank of Fondazione
Internazionale Menarini held in Rome on November 29th.
"We believe that a company has the obligation to be part of the social fabric
and to encourage dialogue even on the most neglected topics" stated Lucia
Aleotti, shareholder and board member of Menarini Group.
On Radar was born with the aim of observing society, identifying problems and
committing to improve the environment in which we live. For its first event, 28
experts were involved, including paediatricians, psychologists, teachers,
magistrates and officers of the Italian police force: all brought together to
find concrete solutions to the phenomenon of abuse and violence against
children and adolescents, which for years now has taken on the proportions of a
social scourge all over the world.
The working tables addressed the problem of child abuse in its various forms of
physical and psychological ill-treatment, social isolation and poverty, with
special focus on the suburban areas of cities.
One the proposals that emerged is the creation of a permanent Observatory on
abuse care of the Judicial organs with periodic update meetings and the
promotion of a network connecting public prosecutors' offices and operators in
the sector, to foster dialogue and ensure that individual situations are
properly dealt with. But that's not all: involving paediatricians was one of
the topics discussed, in order to introduce potential indicators of distress in
the drafting of the healthcare report, and the possible role of training
courses for new mothers on the risk of disclosing photos of their children on
social media, as they might become subject of child pornography.
In Italy there are about 9 million minors and of these 9% suffers from abuse,
85% of which is psychological, 10% physical and 3% sexual. Alarming data
aggravated by the outbreak of the pandemic.
"Our ambitious intent," declared Massimo Scaccabarozzi, president of On Radar
"is to contribute to achieving a global condition of children's health, in line
with some of the goals of the UN's 2030 Agenda, including, in particular,
overcoming poverty and access to education".
