#17 Laura Donadoni - Italian wine girl - discrimination prevention and sexual harassment education

Many issues of social sustainability is a subject too rarely touched in the wine world. It’s often for the uncomfortable topics that we need to find straightforward solutions. In this episode I speak with Laura Donadoni who brought up a great, simple idea that is used in other industries in the USA and proposed it to the Italian wine industry; sexual harrasment prevention courses that teach and educate workers how to recognize inappropriate behaviour and how to act when we experience or vitness such behaviour. The italian Donne del Vino association is strongly supporting Laura’s initiative and has engaged Italian ministry of equal opportunity into it. https://theitalianwinegirl.com/implementing-anti-sexism-courses-in-italy-my-proposal-to-the-minister-for-equal-opportunities/UNSDG - Goal 5 Gender equality UNSDG - Goal 8 Decent Work and Economic GrowthMarket research on gender equalities of wine consumers : https://www.wineintelligence.com/downloads/wine-consumption-and-gender-do-women-and-men-approach-wine-differently/Italian Association of Women in Wine : https://ledonnedelvino.com/What can we do to change sexist culturehttps://theitalianwinegirl.com/the-metoo-of-wine-what-can-we-do-to-change-the-sexist-culture/ Laura’s latest book: https://www.slowfoodeditore.it/it/assaggi-slow-wine/custodi-del-vino-9788884997197-969.html Youtube: The Italian Wine GirlLinkedin: Laura DonadoniInstagram: @theitalianwinegirlPodcast: The Italian Wine GirlFacebook: Laura Donadoni
