“A≠B”

A is different from B a MOTUS production supported by Regione Toscana In social terms, ‘equal’ stands for ‘same’, ‘similar’, but the Latin etymology also refers to aequus, with a strong reference to the concept of ‘impartiality for those belonging to the same class of equivalence’.

Walls

The campaign “stay at home” launched during the lockdown to fight the pandemic, was not a safe invitation for women that are victims of violence.
