Once again this year, on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women on November 25, Sassuolo Calcio renews its commitment to raising awareness against gender-based violence and providing concrete support to the TINA Anti-Violence Center, continuing the “Segni Visibili” project in collaboration with the local association “Non è Colpa Mia” (It’s Not My Fault).
This ongoing initiative confirms the black&green club’s desire to use the power of sport as a tool for awareness, solidarity, and cultural change.
The initiatives of the 2025 “Segni Visibili” project
For this year’s edition, “Segni Visibili” is adding new concrete actions to support women who are experiencing violence and hardship.
A solidarity collection point at Sassuolo Official Store
From November 24 to 29, Sassuolo Official Store will become a collection point for useful materials for women who, with the support of the TINA Anti-Violence Center, are seeking protection. A simple but concrete gesture to offer immediate support to those who find themselves having to start over.
The items needed, as indicated by the Center, are:
- new microfiber bathrobes and towels
- suitcases and duffel bags (even used ones, as long as they are in good condition)
- universal cell phone chargers (USB-C and iPhone devices)
In addition to these, the club will donate official Sassuolo Calcio gadgets (including scarves, neck warmers, and backpacks) with the aim of bringing a smile to the faces of children who flee violence with their mothers.
A financial contribution to the TINA Anti-Violence Center
From November 24 to 29, 50% of the sales proceeds, both online at store.sassuolocalcio.it and at Sassuolo Official Store in Piazza Garibaldi, will be donated to the TINA Anti-Violence Center to support its activities and projects to help victims of violence.
Meeting with the community: to inform and raise awareness
On Tuesday, November 25, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 a.m., an outdoor space will be set up outside Sassuolo Official Store with representatives from the TINA Anti-Violence Center. This will be an opportunity to listen, provide information, and distribute postcards created for the campaign, in order to maintain attention on an issue that requires everyone’s commitment.
Sassuolo Official Store will also continue to serve as a permanent information point to learn about the services offered by the TINA Anti-Violence Center, as well as distributing awareness-raising materials aimed at generating awareness and positive behavioral change.
The Club would like to thank the TINA Anti-Violence Center – Unione Comuni Distretto Ceramico and the “Non è Colpa Mia” Association, which have supported the “Segni Visibili” campaign, once again, this season. Thanks to their valuable contribution, it has once again been possible to convey a message that not only calls for concrete support for those currently experiencing violence, but also encourages deep reflection on the often normalized dynamics that generate it. Because only through a new collective awareness can we build a cultural change capable of preventing gender-based violence.
For more information, please contact the TINA Anti-Violence Center at +39 331 1354674 (service also available on WhatsApp).
Since 2020, the “Non è Colpa Mia” Association has been dedicated to raising awareness on the issue of gender-based violence through events, meetings, and collaborations. The project was carried out by member Roberta Barra, a trainer, coach, and communication expert who has been developing programs dedicated to gender equality and raising awareness against violence against women for years. Martina Mammi, artist and member of the association, created an exclusive illustration for the campaign, capturing the urgency of the message with visual power. A wide-open mouth symbolizes an irrepressible need to shout to the world about the things suffered, which are unexpectedly symbolized by flowers, to emphasize the intention to turn them into something positive. There is a clear need to give life to new words and a new culture capable of changing things for every woman. Attorney Angela Ninzoli and Attorney Simona Fiandri, President and Vice President of the Association, are actively involved in the initiative. They are lawyers specializing in family law and have been working for years on issues of violence, protection, and gender differences.
