The third meeting of “ESG and Prison-when the State, Business and the Third Sector meet,” promoted by Senator Mariastella Gelmini and supported by the Severino Foundation, Ethicarei and Bee4-also took place in Rome. Out of 61,000 inmates in Italian prisons, it was recalled, there are only 17,000 workers, just 15 percent of whom work outside penitentiary institutions. “It's a small minority,” Gelmini stressed, ”but fostering the work of inmates, which is essential to decrease recidivism among those who have finished serving their sentences, is possible with a great alliance between the state, associations and businesses. Good practices exist, but they need to be known and expanded.” #ETHICAREIeducation

'“Fashion is an education in beauty,” said Caterina Micolano, standing in the unbeautiful gray confines of the Bollate prison on the outskirts of Milan. The president of the Cooperativa Alice, Ms. Micolano oversees the organization’s sewing workshops that train prison inmates and former prisoners in Italian sartorial craft. “The ‘Made in Italy’ method teaches you that to achieve beauty, you have to master a system of specific techniques,” she said, “to follow certain rules.” For the trainees, those rules can be a pathway to a degree of emancipation, even while they are still incarcerated, and to a career in a fashion industry desperately short of skilled artisans.'

International Day of Charity - Charity, like the notions of volunteerism and philanthropy, provides real social bonding and contributes to the creation of inclusive and more resilient societies. Charity can alleviate the worst effects of humanitarian crises, supplement public services in health care, education, housing and child protection. It assists the advancement of culture, science, sports, and the protection of cultural and natural heritage. #ETHICAREI #InternationalDayOfCharity

 "Today, fashion houses' sustainability strategies take into consideration environmental aspects, but they still neglect social ones" explains Micaela Le Divelec Lemmi. For Caterina Occhio, "It is a problematic gap especially in view of the Supply Chain Act, the European legislation that requires companies to guarantee their supply chain also from the point of view of human rights."

World Population Day - This event has been celebrated for almost three decades and the aim is to focus the world’s attention on the importance of population issues. Millions of women, globally, are still not given access to safe and effective family planning methods. Which is why it has been chosen as the focus for previous years. A basic human right is to be able to get safe and effective family planning. It should also be a voluntary choice. Gender equality and women’s empowerment depend on it. Further more, it is a key factor in reducing poverty. #ETHICAREI #WorldPopulationDay
