"MOTHERCHILD" PROJECT

Special Award “S.O.S VILLAGES OF CHILDREN”

There's a village that asks for help, it's full of women and children, escaped from a world of monsters, who found serenity, peace and a shelter in here. Especially children, who are about half of the 42000  unwilling protagonists of this  reversed world of love. Welcoming and safeguarding mothers and their children are social protective actions, used by the community to rebuild a sense of affection, pushing fear away  and so keeping the familiar relationship intact and intimate. Domestic violence is a phenomenon endangering the delicate mother-son  relationship , which is threatened by the violence created by a nomore possible coexistance. Fernanda Bolzon, has experienced all of this at firsthand, both  causes and  effects, but she has also found a safe place where welcoming mothers and children, living the same difficult and dramatic situations. For this reason, she shows us how to be present in anyway, to an initiative, which has just one unique purpose: the psico-physical integrity of the fundamental element of our civilization and our future.
