Oggi. Domani&#8221; (&#8220;Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow&#8221;) which will debate the issue of civil partnerships and the rights of LGBTIs. The Italian law on civil partnerships and cohabitations passed this year bears the Senator&#8217;s name. The initiative has been organised by the Italian Consulate in partnership with Wake Up Italia &#8211; London, the association of Italian LGBTIs residing in the capital city. Italian journalist Claudio Rossi Marcelli will chair the\u00a0conference , and the discussion panel will include Maria Federica Moscati (professor at Sussex University and a lawyer of Rete Lenford \u2013 Advocacy for the rights of LGBTI couples), Massimiliano Mazzanti (Italian Consul General in London) and Roberto Sormani (president of Wake Up Italia &#8211; London). &#8220;It will be an important opportunity to\u00a0make the voice of Italian citizens residing abroad\u00a0 be heard by\u00a0Italian policy-makers, who way too\u00a0often are detached from their effective needs,&#8221;\u00a0said the spokespersons of Wake Up Italia. &#8220;The Cirinn\u00e0 Act finally filled in a gap in the human rights issue of same-sex couples even if the road towards an equal treatment of LGBTIs is still long and challenging, as the name of the event highlights. During the debate, Prof Moscati and Senator Cirinn\u00e0 will respectively illustrate the ways of tackling this need for equality in the Courts of Justice and in Parliament. Compared to other countries, both inside and outside Europe, Italy is considerably lagging behind in guaranteeing the rights of LGBTIs, and the citizens residing abroad therefore play an important role in bringing about changes in our Country. The enthusiasm with which the Consulate General sponsored this Conference is a reassuring and encouraging sign in this direction,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Senator Monica Cirinn\u00e0 will be at the Italian Consulate in London next 14 November to participate in a conference entitled &#8220;Ieri.
