Sapienza endorses the appeal of the D.i.Re - Donne in Rete contro la violenza association. D.i.Re is asking Italian Rectors to open universities to Afghan female students and researchers, so as to welcome the brilliant minds of a country under attack.

There has recently been the latest clampdown on women's freedom in Afghanistan: the absolute ban on university attendance, which comes less than three months after thousands of girls and women have taken university entrance exams throughout the country. Sapienza supports the D.i.Re association in building an institutional hospitality network so that culture is not stopped and allowing Afghan women to study and live free from the oppression of a power that erases all freedom.
