  • NAPLES, ITALY - 16 MARCH 2018: Aerial Dance instructor Caterina Spezzaferri (29) teaches aerial dance to teenagers at "Il Tappeto di Iqbal" (Iqbal's carpet), a non-profit cooperative in Barra, the estern district of Naples, Italy, on March 16th 2018.<br />
<br />
Il Tappeto di Iqbal (Iqbal’s Carpet) is a non-profit cooperative founded in 2015 and Save The Children partner since 2015 that operates in the Naple’s eastern neighborhood of Barra children in the arts of circus, theater and parkour. It was named after Iqbal Masih, a Pakistani boy who escaped from life as a child slave and became an activist against bonded labor in the 1990s.<br />
Barra, which is home to some 45,000 people, has the highest rate of school dropouts in the Italian region of Campania. Once a thriving industrial community, many of the factories were destroyed in a 1980 earthquake and never rebuilt. The resulting de-industrialization turned Barra into a poor, decaying neighborhood. There are no cinemas, theaters, parks or public spaces in Barra.<br />
The vast majority of children from poor families are faced with the choice of working in the black economy or joining the ranks of the organised crime.<br />
Recently, Save the Children Italy opened a number of educational and social spaces in Barra. The centers, known as Punti Luce, or points of light, aim to help local kids stay out of the ranks of the organised crime and have also become hubs for Iqbal's Carpet to work.

  • NAPLES, ITALY - 16 MARCH 2018: Founder and President of "Il Tappeto di Iqbal" Giovanni Savino (38) is seen here with elementary school children during after-school activity at "Il Tappeto di Iqbal" (Iqbal's carpet), a non-profit cooperative in Barra, the estern district of Naples, Italy, on March 16th 2018.<br />
<br />
Il Tappeto di Iqbal (Iqbal’s Carpet) is a non-profit cooperative founded in 2015 and Save The Children partner since 2015 that operates in the Naple’s eastern neighborhood of Barra children in the arts of circus, theater and parkour. It was named after Iqbal Masih, a Pakistani boy who escaped from life as a child slave and became an activist against bonded labor in the 1990s.<br />
Barra, which is home to some 45,000 people, has the highest rate of school dropouts in the Italian region of Campania. Once a thriving industrial community, many of the factories were destroyed in a 1980 earthquake and never rebuilt. The resulting de-industrialization turned Barra into a poor, decaying neighborhood. There are no cinemas, theaters, parks or public spaces in Barra.<br />
The vast majority of children from poor families are faced with the choice of working in the black economy or joining the ranks of the organised crime.<br />

  • NAPLES, ITALY - 16 MARCH 2018: (L-R) Founder and President of "Il Tappeto di Iqbal" Giovanni Savino (38) discusses with Save The Children project coordinator Luigi Malcangi at "Il Tappeto di Iqbal" (Iqbal's carpet), a non-profit cooperative in Barra, the estern district of Naples, Italy, on March 16th 2018.<br />
<br />
Il Tappeto di Iqbal (Iqbal’s Carpet) is a non-profit cooperative founded in 2015 and Save The Children partner since 2015 that operates in the Naple’s eastern neighborhood of Barra children in the arts of circus, theater and parkour. It was named after Iqbal Masih, a Pakistani boy who escaped from life as a child slave and became an activist against bonded labor in the 1990s.<br />
Barra, which is home to some 45,000 people, has the highest rate of school dropouts in the Italian region of Campania. Once a thriving industrial community, many of the factories were destroyed in a 1980 earthquake and never rebuilt. The resulting de-industrialization turned Barra into a poor, decaying neighborhood. There are no cinemas, theaters, parks or public spaces in Barra.<br />
The vast majority of children from poor families are faced with the choice of working in the black economy or joining the ranks of the organised crime.<br />

Libera terra, which is a non profit organisation uses the land that has been confiscated to mafia bosses to produce a range of organic foods and wines, including olive oil, pasta, marmalades, jams, legumes and preserves as well as a large selection of typically southern Italian produce.<br />
<br />
<br />
Calabria is one of the poorest Italian regions which suffers from lack of basic services (hospitals without proper equipment, irregular electricity and water), the product of disparate political interests vying for power. The region is dominated by the 'Ndrangheta (pronounced en-Drang-get-A), which authorities say is the most powerful in Italy because it is the welthiest and best organized.<br />
<br />
The region today has nearly 20 percent unemployment, 40 percent youth unemployment and among the lowest female unemployment and broadband Internet levels in Italy. Business suffer since poor infrastructure drives up transport costs.<br />
<br />
Last summer the European Union's anti-fraud office demanded that Italy redirect 380 million euros in structural funding away from the A3 Salerno - Reggio Calabria highway after finding widespread evidence of corruption in the bidding processes.

As a consequence of the April 2015 Libya migrant shipwrecks, the EU launched a military operation known as European Union Naval Force Mediterranean (EUNAVFOR Med), also known as Operation Sophia, with the aim of neutralising established refugee smuggling routes in the Mediterranean. The aim of this new operation launched by Europe is to undertake systematic efforts to identify, capture and dispose of vessels as well as enabling assets used or suspected of being used by migrant smugglers or traffickers. On 20 June 2016, the Council of the European Union extended Operation Sophia’s mandate reinforcing it by supporting the training of the Libyan coastguard.<br />
Thus far, following EUNAVFOR MED operation Sophia’s activities, 101 suspected smugglers and traffickers have been apprehended and transferred to the Italian<br />
authorities and 380 boats were removed from the criminal organizations' availability. The Operation has saved 32.081 migrants, among whom 1888 children.<br />

The following day, as EU leaders meet in Malta for a summit, European Council President Donald Tusk said after talks with Serraj, that “it is time to close the (migrant) route from Libya to Italy” and that “the EU has shown it is able to close the routes of irregular migration, as it has done in the eastern Mediterranean.”  Tusk said the Central Mediterranean route was “not sustainable either for the EU or for Libya”, where he said traffickers were undermining the Libyan state’s authority for their profit.
