  • SCIACCA (CT), ITALIA - 28 MAGGIO 2014: Volontari del Gruppo di Volontariato Vincenziano disitribuiscono alimenti nel "Market della Solidarietà" della parrocchia della Beata Maria Vergine di Loret a Sciacca, AG, il 28 maggio 2014. Ogni settimana circa 650 persone del quartiere partecipano al Market della Solidarietà (allestito dalla parrocchia in collaborazione con la Caritas, con la “San Vincenzo de Paoli” e con la “Orizzonti Onlus) ed usufruiscono dei prodotti provenienti dalle collette avviate nella parrocchia, nel Banco Alimentare e nei punti vendita di Sciacca.  <br />

“Operiamo in un vasto quartiere periferico di Sciacca, la Perriera, che è una zona di espansione senza un piano regolatore, in perenne urbanizzazione e cementificazione! - racconta il parroco, don Gino Faragone – Siamo da sempre vicini alla popolazione che chiede lavoro, diritti, solidarietà e uguaglianza. Finora abbiamo operato in condizioni difficili, negli scantinati, in attesa della fine dei lavori di ristrutturazione, attesi da trent’anni! A fine giugno, finalmente avremo a disposizione i nuovi locali e potremo espandere le nostre attività”.

  • ROME, ITALY - 3 JULY 2016: Customers line up at the Gipsy Queens food stand at the iFest, an alternative music festival  in Rome, Italy, on July 3rd 2016.<br />
<br />
The Gipsy Queens are a travelling catering business founded by Roma women in Rome.<br />
<br />
In 2015 Arci Solidarietà, an independent association for the promotion of social development, launched the “Tavolo delle donne rom” (Round table of Roma women) to both incentivise the process of integration of Roma in the city of Rome and to strengthen the Roma women’s self-esteem in the context of a culture tied to patriarchal models. The “Gipsy Queens” project was founded by ten Roma women in July 2015 after an event organised together with Arci Solidarietà in the Candoni Roma camp in the Magliana, a neighbourhood in the South-West periphery of Rome, during which people were invited to dance and eat Roma cuisine. The goal of the Gipsy Queen travelling catering business is to support equal opportunities and female entrepreneurship among Roma women, who are often relegated to the roles of wives and mothers.

The “Gipsy Queens” project was founded by ten Roma women in July 2015 after an event organised together with Arci Solidarietà in the Candoni Roma camp in the Magliana, a neighbourhood in the South-West periphery of Rome, during which people were invited to dance and eat Roma cuisine.
