How the Site came about... |

|
This site was born thanks to the undertaking on the part of the new CGIE, through the mandate given to the Councillor Dr Daniela Costa, to continue to value and recognise the contribution of women of Italian origin in the Italo-Australian community. The site hopes to assist in the networking process between women of Italian origin who live in different Australian States and women of Italian origin in the world. The concept of networking was stressed greatly in the discussions at the Seminar on "Women in Emigration" held in Rome on 25-26 November, 1997. Networking was identified as a crucial strategy to put into force the proposals contained in the final resolutions document of the Seminar "Women in Emigration". The Seminar proposed to analyse topics related to women in emigration in the light of the plan of action enunciated at the Beijing Forum. At the beginning of 1999, Daniela Costa together with a group of women in South Australia set about creating this site in consultation with women from other states. These women are: Caterina Andreacchio, Marinella Caruso, Serafina Maria Maiorano and Paola Niscioli. Our thanks go to: Comites across Australia. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, The South Australian Government and The Cassamarca Foundation for their financial support. A special thanks goes to all those women who have contributed so far. 2006/2007
