PercorsoDonna

Percorso Donna is an Italian Association for Social Promotion dedicated to preventing and addressing gender-based violence. The organization seeks to change cultural perceptions of violence against women and advance equal opportunities through public engagement, education and community activities. Based in Pesaro, it runs the Percorsi festival, a cultural program celebrating women’s experiences and stories while encouraging reflection on violence, gender stereotypes and social change.

The festival features events, performances, discussions and themed spin-offs, with activities extending to nearby locations including Fano and Urbino. Examples include the STILE LIBERƏ sports initiative, intercultural dialogue gatherings and programs highlighting women’s contributions across history and society. Percorso Donna also organizes recurring cultural events such as Donne per Via, which explores women’s presence in public memory and street names.

Its wider activities include training and awareness initiatives, and the association lists a center against violence among its services. Through festivals, events and educational work, Percorso Donna aims to build public understanding and foster a more informed, equitable response to gender-based violence
