10th National Arci Caccia Congress, “Women and hunting: different sensitivities for the common good”, debate to dispel clichés in the relationship between women and hunting.
The round table "March 8 ... Arcicaccia ... Lair of machismo?" characterized the work of the first day of the X National Arci Caccia Congress, which is taking place at the Hotel Villa Ricci in Chianciano Terme (province of Siena). The initiative represented a concrete moment of confrontation and debate (on the International Day of Women's Rights) to dispel some clichés in the relationship between women and hunting, through the interventions of exponents, all female, from the political and institutional world. and national and territorial environmentalist.
For Susanna Cenni, deputy of the Democratic Party, the current social and economic phase has brought “the need for an overall change also in the models of political representation; women than men, with their less dogmatic approach, have the opportunity to face the problems with an overall vision and with less rigid cultural models.
Increased listening skills and respect will be needed: elements that have always characterized the work of the Arci Caccia, which in hunting has always sought elements of mediation with the agricultural and environmental world ". Fulvia Bandoli, parliamentarian and historical figure of ecology and the Italian left, retraced the steps that led to the 1992 law on hunting, highlighting the constant and continuous relationship of collaboration with Arci Caccia, "an association that has always recognized the authority and skills, also and above all of women. The link between hunter and territory and between wildlife and environmental protection and hunting management, which emerges from our national legislation, is precisely the result of this capacity for consultation ”.
Rossella Moroni, national director of Legambiente, remarked how Arci Caccia, unlike other associations, has always pursued “criteria of comparison without gender bias; the same concepts of hunting sustainability and the search for positions shared with other actors of society such as the environmental one are the direct testimony of this ".
The initiative was coordinated by Lucia Venturi, president of the Maremma Park and also saw the presence of Anna Maria Betti, councilor for agriculture of the Province of Siena and Alice Raspanti, councilor for hunting of the Municipality of Montepulciano.
