Armando Cecatiello is delighted to invite you to the presentation of his new book “Libere. Stories of Women Who Overcame Violence and Abuse”, a powerful collection of stories from courageous women who found the strength to break the cycle of violence.
“Libere” is much more than a collection of stories.It is a tool for prevention and awareness. For young women, it serves as a guide, a beacon, a voice that encourages them to recognize the warning signs of abuse before it becomes a prison. For men, it can serve as a mirror — an opportunity to understand where, how, and why things often go wrong, and what can be done to change.
The goal is cultural even before it is legal: to promote a new way of understanding emotional and relational education — one based on respect, listening, and empathy. During the presentation, Armando Cecatiello will be in conversation with legal experts, psychologists, and other professionals from the legal and social fields.
