As you know Love and Violence are sometime associated, so here some thoughts from Melandri, a philosopher, a feminist, and educator, who started the Italian movement.
The book, which expanded the content that Lea Melandri presented at the Conference on Domestic violence organized by the Cornerstone Family Prevention Centre and the Academy and Archive of Autobiography held in Cobourg in 2014, deal with the work we are still involved into today to make the world better for the young generations of boy and girls.
