This month we explored Strong Ground by Brené Brown, a reflection on what it truly means to build inner stability in an uncertain world.

Through different perspectives and personal insights, one idea stayed with us: strong ground isn’t something we find, but something we build.

Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts and made this conversation so meaningful.

💛 800+ signatures for women’s safety in Modena 💛

Thanks to our incredible community, the IWAM Women’s Safety Petition has already reached:

✔️ 400+ in person
✔️ 400+ online

This is a powerful step toward making our city safer for everyone.

Our goal is to reach 1,000 signatures before presenting the petition to the Comune di Modena in April.

But we also want to bring something even more important to that meeting: real experiences from women in our community.

That’s why we created a short anonymous survey (1 minute) to help identify places where women feel unsafe or tend to avoid.

Your input will help us create a community safety heatmap to support constructive conversations with the city and local police.

👉 Sign the petition
👉 Share it with friends and family
👉 Complete the anonymous survey

Together we can help make Modena safer for everyone.

✨ Women for Women – IWAM meets the Mayor ✨

Yesterday, IWAM – International Women’s Association of Modena – had its first official meeting with Mayor Mezzetti and his spokesperson at City Hall.

We presented our 2026 projects, shared who we are, our mission and values, and highlighted the impact we’ve created over the years. This was a first step toward building a long-term relationship with the Mayor, who listened with genuine interest to our past initiatives and successes, and expressed willingness to support us in the future.

Grateful for the open and constructive dialogue, and excited about strengthening our collaboration for the benefit of the wider community 💛

Thank you and thank you !

🚨 Women’s safety in Modena cannot wait.

Too many women in our city have shared that they feel unsafe in parks and public spaces due to harassment and intimidating behavior — changing their routines, avoiding certain areas, and limiting their freedom.

This is not acceptable.

The International Women’s Association of Modena has launched a civic petition calling on the Municipality of Modena to take concrete, measurable action to improve women’s safety across the city.

💬 Safety is not a “women’s issue.” It’s a community issue.
🖊 Every signature strengthens our voice.

👉 Sign the petition: https://www.change.org/p/petizione-per-la-sicurezza-delle-donne-a-modena

The link is also in our stories today. Please share to help us reach even more people.

Together, we can push for real change. 💜

Another unforgettable IWAM Foodaholics evening — this time at the incredible MIC Ramen. ✨
Our Ramen lovers night brought together an amazing group of IWAM members for yet another curated dinner experience.

An extra ticket was requested for those who wanted to be part of the evening — and once again, the response showed how strong (and hungry 😉) our Foodaholics community truly is.

These nights are about more than just dinner.
They’re about connection.
About stepping out of routine.
About sitting at a long table with inspiring people and letting the conversations flow.

Another beautiful touchdown for the Foodaholics group.
Already excited for what’s next.

Our February Book Club meeting was one to remember ✨

This month, we gathered to discuss Becoming by Michelle Obama, a powerful and deeply personal memoir about identity, resilience, ambition, and growth.

From her childhood in Chicago to her years in the White House, Becoming invited us to reflect on our own journeys, who we are, where we come from, and who we are still becoming.

The conversation was honest, emotional, and inspiring. We shared stories, perspectives, and moments from the book that resonated with us as women navigating careers, family, change, and purpose.

Thank you to everyone who joined and contributed to such a meaningful discussion.

We can’t wait for our next gathering.
