Meet Amleta
The Italian Association Fighting Gender Inequality and Violence in the Entertainment World.
Organized By In Scena! Italian Theater Festival NY.
Featuring Monica Faggiani, co-founder of Amleta.
Moderated by Laura Caparrotti.
Amleta is an association whose aim is to fight gender inequality and violence in the entertainment world. It was founded by twenty-eight actresses from all over the country. Amleta is an intersectional feminist collective that focuses on the presence of women in the world of entertainment, on the representation of women in classical and contemporary drama, and acts as a vigilant and constant watchdog to identify and combat violence and harassment in the workplace. Do we want to work with stereotypes, discrimination, sexism, abuse, gender gap, gender pay gap, and management of public funds without policies for gender equality? That is the question.
