Staff at the British Embassy in Italy marked International Women鈥檚 Day by promoting the UK鈥檚 Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative. Working together with the Department for Equal Opportunity at Roma Capitale, the UN High Commission for Refugees and two Italian organisations, Se Non Ora Quando and Avvocati Senza Frontiere, they projected images onto the Colosseum walls.
The Mayor of Rome, Gianni Alemanno, the British Ambassador in Italy, Christopher Prentice, and Lavinia Mennuni, from Roma Capitale, were present at the event.
The Foreign Secretary鈥檚 Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative, a key foreign affairs priority for the UK鈥檚 G8 Presidency this year, aims to increase the number of perpetrators facing justice, push for greater international action and help countries improve their efforts to tackle these crimes and support survivors.
