Torino Social Impact, together with the Torino Chamber of Commerce, is joining Orange the World, a global campaign promoted by the United Nations within the UNiTE to End Violence against Women initiative, launched in 2008 by the UN Secretary-General. The goal is to end violence against women and girls by 2030 through awareness-raising, mobilisation, and concrete actions worldwide.

The symbolic colour of the campaign is orange, chosen because it represents optimism and hope for a future free from gender-based violence. Every year, from 25 November (International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women) to 10 December (Human Rights Day), the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence take place: governments, organisations, businesses, and citizens are encouraged to “orange” monuments, buildings, and public spaces, as well as to participate in awareness and advocacy initiatives.

The campaign addresses different forms of violence — from physical and psychological abuse to digital violence, the central theme of the 2025 edition, which focuses on combating online harassment, abuse, and stalking. Orange the World is also an opportunity to strengthen global commitment to gender equality and human rights.

The Chamber of Commerce is taking part by lighting the exterior of Palazzo Affari in orange until 10 December; inside the headquarters, in the waiting room, the panel “The Courage of Respect” will be on display. The piece originates from an initiative of the Committee for Female Entrepreneurship, transformed into images through the technique of scribing. Created by Monica Cortonesi of Yoby, the panel portrays a mosaic of voices united by a shared commitment: building workplaces where gender equality is not an aspiration but a reality. Every stretch is an invitation to reflect, to choose respect as a force against violence and discrimination.
