In recent decades, campaigns against gender violence have helped to change not only the public debate but also the language, sensitivity, and the way in which institutions, the media, and society recognize and address these forms of abuse.

Terms and concepts such as feminicide, consent, psychological violence, economic violence, stalking, sexual harassment, catcalling, revenge porn and digital violence They have entered into common use, helping to make realities long submerged or minimized visible.

Meanwhile, language continues to evolve. Are the words that yesterday helped break the silence still effective today? How can we talk about violence without simply asking victims to report it? How can we effectively communicate the existence of services, associations, and ad hoc protection tools, and make them truly accessible?

And also: how would the public discourse change if the focus were less on what women should do to protect themselves and more on what leads some men to exercise violence? What words can foster greater collective responsibility, involving families, friends, neighbors, and communities in recognizing and combating violence?

There will be a follow-up participatory laboratory of brainstorming and discussion: an open space to share reflections, compare ideas and identify possible concrete proposals.
