During his greeting, Brigadier General Beniamino Vergori, commander of the national contingent (National Contingent Commander-NCC) and commander of the TAAC-W HQ, highlighted how women have always fought with tenacity and courage, managing to earn with ability and value the right role in many areas of society sometimes, unfortunately, even paying a very high price.
General Vergori also underlined the fact that every modern, dynamic and successful society cannot ignore having an adequate female presence in every sector; presence that must tend to become a constant of normality.
