  • LECCE, ITALY - 10 DECEMBER 2020: Stefania Pala (32), an unemployed, poses for a portrait in Lecce, Apulia, Italy, on December 10th 2020.<br />
<br />
After working in a hotel on Lake Garda, Stefania Pala moved to London where she worked in a pizzeria and lived with her partner from 2015 to 2018. When her partner received a job offer with a permanent contract in Apulia, they moved back. "We could finally ask for a loan, get married and buy a house", she said.  She has worked occasionally as a head waiter on short-term contracts during peak season in Apulia. Her last job was at a resort last summer, but has been unemployed ever since. During her last job interview for an available position as a paid intern (750 euros for 44 hours/week) in art supplies store, the potential employer asked her if she had children or if she had intention to have any. Uncertain how to respond, Stefania Pala laughed uncomfortably and replied she had two cats. She wasn't hired.<br />
<br />
Unlike the 2008 financial crisis, the pandemic’s employment shock hit women harder than men across much of the Western world. The impact on women has been especially severe in Southern Italy, which already has Europe’s widest employment gender gap.<br />
<br />
In Italy, 51 percent of women work compared with 68 percent of men, the seventh highest women’s unemployment rate in the world despite improvements in the last decade<br />
<br />
The Global Gender Gap Report 2020 published by the World Economic Forum prior to the pandemic states that the advancement of women has regressed by nearly a century.  Italy has performed worse than most European nations in this analysis, falling six spots to seventeenth position in Europe; only Greece, Malta and Cyprus fared more poorly.<br />
<br />
The gender pay gap highlights the most critical issue. On average, non-university-educated men earn 6,000 euro more than women with a degree in Italy.

<br />
Here a group of ten high-security female inmates and aspiring sommeliers , some of which are married to mafia mobsters or have been convicted for criminal association (crimes carrying up to to decades of jail time), are taking a course of eight lessons to learn how to taste, choose and serve local wines.<br />
<br />
The classes are part of a wide-ranging educational program to teach inmates new professional skills, as well as help them develop a bond with the region they live in.<br />
<br />
Since the 1970s, Italian norms have been providing for reeducation and a personalized approach to detention. However, the lack of funds to rehabilitate inmates, alongside the chronic overcrowding of Italian prisons, have created a reality of thousands of incarcerated men and women with little to do all day long. Especially those with a serious criminal record, experts said, need dedicated therapy and professionals who can help them.

Here a group of ten high-security female inmates and aspiring sommeliers , some of which are married to mafia mobsters or have been convicted for criminal association (crimes carrying up to to decades of jail time), are taking a course of eight lessons to learn how to taste, choose and serve local wines.<br />
<br />
The classes are part of a wide-ranging educational program to teach inmates new professional skills, as well as help them develop a bond with the region they live in.<br />
<br />
Since the 1970s, Italian norms have been providing for reeducation and a personalized approach to detention. However, the lack of funds to rehabilitate inmates, alongside the chronic overcrowding of Italian prisons, have created a reality of thousands of incarcerated men and women with little to do all day long. Especially those with a serious criminal record, experts said, need dedicated therapy and professionals who can help them.

<br />
Unlike the 2008 financial crisis, the pandemic’s employment shock hit women harder than men across much of the Western world. The impact on women has been especially severe in Southern Italy, which already has Europe’s widest employment gender gap.<br />
<br />
In Italy, 51 percent of women work compared with 68 percent of men, the seventh highest women’s unemployment rate in the world despite improvements in the last decade<br />
<br />
The Global Gender Gap Report 2020 published by the World Economic Forum prior to the pandemic states that the advancement of women has regressed by nearly a century.  Italy has performed worse than most European nations in this analysis, falling six spots to seventeenth position in Europe; only Greece, Malta and Cyprus fared more poorly.<br />
<br />
The gender pay gap highlights the most critical issue. On average, non-university-educated men earn 6,000 euro more than women with a degree in Italy.

The Global Gender Gap Report 2020 published by the World Economic Forum prior to the pandemic states that the advancement of women has regressed by nearly a century.  Italy has performed worse than most European nations in this analysis, falling six spots to seventeenth position in Europe; only Greece, Malta and Cyprus fared more poorly.<br />
<br />
The gender pay gap highlights the most critical issue. On average, non-university-educated men earn 6,000 euro more than women with a degree in Italy.

  • SAN PIETRO VERNOTICO, ITALY - 10 DECEMBER 2020: Simona Allegrino (34), an unempoyed mother who resigned shortly after returning from maternity leave, poses for a portrait by her family photos in her living room, in San Pietro Vernotico, Apulia, Italy, on December 10th 2020.<br />
<br />
 Since the age of 21 years old, Simona Allegrino worked in administration services company. In 2019, she gave birth to two twins and went on maternity leave. When she came back to work, she asked for a part-time contractor any other agreement that would allow her to come back earlier home to her children. After she realised her employer didn't accept any of her requests, she resigned. She is unemployed since then.<br />
<br />
Unlike the 2008 financial crisis, the pandemic’s employment shock hit women harder than men across much of the Western world. The impact on women has been especially severe in Southern Italy, which already has Europe’s widest employment gender gap.<br />

Faced with the  challenge of balancing home schooling and their jobs, figures so far reveal that 76 percent of the applicants for paid parental leave during the pandemic have been women. A research conducted by the Milan Bicocca University claims that 30 percent of working mums are considering leaving their jobs if distance learning were to continue this academic year.

<br />
Since the 1970s, Italian norms have been providing for reeducation and a personalized approach to detention. However, the lack of funds to rehabilitate inmates, alongside the chronic overcrowding of Italian prisons, have created a reality of thousands of incarcerated men and women with little to do all day long. Especially those with a serious criminal record, experts said, need dedicated therapy and professionals who can help them.

The Global Gender Gap Report 2020 published by the World Economic Forum prior to the pandemic states that the advancement of women has regressed by nearly a century.  Italy has performed worse than most European nations in this analysis, falling six spots to seventeenth position in Europe; only Greece, Malta and Cyprus fared more poorly.<br />
<br />
The gender pay gap highlights the most critical issue. On average, non-university-educated men earn 6,000 euro more than women with a degree in Italy.

  • SAN PIETRO VERNOTICO, ITALY - 10 DECEMBER 2020: Simona Allegrino (34), an unempoyed mother who resigned shortly after returning from maternity leave, poses for a portrait by her family photos in her living room, in San Pietro Vernotico, Apulia, Italy, on December 10th 2020.<br />
<br />
 Since the age of 21 years old, Simona Allegrino worked in administration services company. In 2019, she gave birth to two twins and went on maternity leave. When she came back to work, she asked for a part-time contractor any other agreement that would allow her to come back earlier home to her children. After she realised her employer didn't accept any of her requests, she resigned. She is unemployed since then.<br />
<br />
Unlike the 2008 financial crisis, the pandemic’s employment shock hit women harder than men across much of the Western world. The impact on women has been especially severe in Southern Italy, which already has Europe’s widest employment gender gap.<br />

Faced with the  challenge of balancing home schooling and their jobs, figures so far reveal that 76 percent of the applicants for paid parental leave during the pandemic have been women. A research conducted by the Milan Bicocca University claims that 30 percent of working mums are considering leaving their jobs if distance learning were to continue this academic year.

<br />
Here a group of ten high-security female inmates and aspiring sommeliers , some of which are married to mafia mobsters or have been convicted for criminal association (crimes carrying up to to decades of jail time), are taking a course of eight lessons to learn how to taste, choose and serve local wines.<br />
<br />
The classes are part of a wide-ranging educational program to teach inmates new professional skills, as well as help them develop a bond with the region they live in.<br />
<br />
Since the 1970s, Italian norms have been providing for reeducation and a personalized approach to detention. However, the lack of funds to rehabilitate inmates, alongside the chronic overcrowding of Italian prisons, have created a reality of thousands of incarcerated men and women with little to do all day long. Especially those with a serious criminal record, experts said, need dedicated therapy and professionals who can help them.
