International Women's Day is an
opportunity to reflect on the achievements reached and the goals
still to be pursued, Premier Giorgia Meloni said on Friday.
"Women's Day is not just a day of celebration, but an occasion
to reflect on the achievements reached and the goals still to be
pursued," wrote Meloni on social media before an official
ceremony with President Sergio Mattarella at the Quirinale
palace in Rome.
"Thanks to the support of concrete policies implemented by our
government, we have promoted female employment, the results of
which - certified by Istat data - make us particularly proud,"
continued Italy's first female prime minister, who took office
at the head of a right-centre government coalition in October
2022.
"However, we cannot stop here.
"We are aware that there are still challenges ahead and we will
continue to work with determination to guarantee women a better
future in which they can realise their full potential, without
having to choose between life and work," added Meloni.
"Thanks to all women for the way in which they demonstrate,
every day, their commitment, their determination and their
infinite capacity to make a difference in society," she
concluded.
