Per Esempio aims through its actions to contribute both locally and internationally to global development by promoting human welfare and protecting the environment. To do this, we adopt policies such as the gender mainstreaming policy, the child policy, and the green impact policy, developed and finalised following internal participatory training processes conducted by sector specialists who accompany the organisation’s management team and members towards their definition and adoption.
Our focus of intervention is specifically framed within 5 of the 17 SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) and 19 of its 169 sub-goals, within a map crossing the organisation’s areas of action with the single specific objectives for sustainable development set in 2015 by the governments of the 193 UN member states through the 2030 Agenda. Contributing to the achievement of the goals for the next decade is not an easy task but it is the duty of governments, of all citizens and intermediate bodies that, as in the case of Per Esempio, act in a participatory and organised manner.
The 2030 agenda and the declination of many of its goals represent an important step forward, certainly not exhaustive, for the achievement of full peace and social justice to which our organisation aspires. The course is set, but further efforts are needed, a real paradigm shift to lift up the future of the planet and its suffering inhabitants. In this regard, linked to policy documents such as “La Carta di Palermo del 2015”, we cannot, for example, be satisfied by an approach that still considers migratory flows as a phenomenon to be governed according to “order, security and regularity” (sdg’s objective 10.7) rather than affirming the free movement of every human being as an inseparable right that governments themselves should protect.
At the same time, we are aware of and look positively at the results of the complex and meticolous mediation thanks to which in 2015, through the signature of almost 200 heads of state, the 2030 Agenda finally managed to break, at least syntactically, the equivalence between migration and crime
There is a long way to go, the path seems to us to be right and we are on our way to walk it as protagonists with the ambition of contributing to writing a small piece of history.
