ROME. If the polls are confirmed in the Sept. 25 election, the 45-year-old single mother Georgia Meloni She will be the first woman to lead Prime Minister of Italy. The question is whether this is good or bad for women’s rights in the country.

Different famous italian women expressed their concerns. Singer Levante noted that Meloni’s vision excludes minorities and women who do not fit the heterosexual Christian mother model. Singer Elondi wrote that she was appalled at Meloni’s right-wing party’s commitment to defend “the natural family, fight gender ideology and promote life.” The latter term is used to describe opposition to abortion and is what Meloni’s party has applied in the Marche province where it rules. Some clinics in the province do not have an abortion pill, but anti-abortion activists are allowed access to women who seek the service in order to confuse them, delay them so that unwanted pregnancies exceed legal abortions.

According to polls, 45-year-old Georgia Meloni is in the lead in this post.

Her supporters believe that if elected, she will teach a lesson in Italian politics, which is dominated by men. To date, the country has had 30 prime ministers, all men, and the highest government post that a woman has reached is the post of president of the Senate. Meloni spoke about the obstacles her gender faced, including not being allowed to run for Mayor of Rome because she was pregnant. The fact that she is a working single mother as well as the daughter of a working single mother allows her to understand many of the day-to-day problems of her constituents. Whether he will try to solve them, and if so, how, is another story.
