Last October 10, on the occasion of the national enditnow Day, the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Sesto San Giovanni, near Milan in northern Italy, also sought to give women a voice in speaking out against physical violence and other forms of abuse.
The day began with the worship service, during which Marisabel Iacopino, local Women’s Ministries leader, accompanied by Franca Zucca, a church elder, addressed topics related to the issue. Particular emphasis was placed on the importance of showing compassion toward one another, especially when signs of distress or experiences of abuse are present, regardless of their nature.
