On the 1st<\/sup> of October 2024 at 6 pm, the ceremony for the\u00a0Bianca Pomeranzi Award<\/strong>\u00a0will take place at the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS) headquarters in Rome. This initiative was created to honor Bianca Maria Pomeranzi\u2019s legacy and her extraordinary contribution to the promotion of women\u2019s rights and freedoms at both national and transnational levels.<\/p>\n

Bianca Pomeranzi (1950-2023) was a key figure in the field of development cooperation and feminism. Among her notable contributions were the co-founding of\u00a0AIDOS<\/strong>\u00a0(Italian Association of Women for Development), her work as a\u00a0Senior Gender Expert<\/strong>\u00a0at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and her election as a member of the\u00a0CEDAW<\/strong>\u00a0(UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women).<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Bianca Pomeranzi Award<\/strong>\u00a0is aimed at recent graduates in Development Cooperation Sciences who have written theses focused on feminist and gender policies and practices in political, social, cultural, environmental, and economic fields. For this first edition, 25 theses, both in Italian and English, were submitted from across Italy. The winner will have the opportunity to undertake a paid internship at\u00a0Oxfam Italy \/ Gender Justice Area<\/strong>, made possible thanks to the support of the\u00a0RUT Foundation<\/strong>\u00a0and the\u00a0European Women\u2019s Management Development Network<\/strong>\u00a0(EWMD Rome).<\/p>\n

The ceremony will feature speeches from representatives of AICS, the\u00a0Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI)<\/strong>,\u00a0UNFPA<\/strong>, and the\u00a0International Women\u2019s House<\/strong>, of which Bianca Pomeranzi was one of the founders. Other organizations involved in the Promoting Committee<\/a> include AIDOS<\/strong>,\u00a0Differenza Donna<\/strong>, the Political Science Department of\u00a0Roma Tre University<\/strong>, and key figures such as\u00a0Elena Zambelli<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Maria Rosa Cutrufelli<\/strong>, who co-founded and chair the award.<\/p>\n
