Today, Friday, May 14, 2010, in addition to celebrate the anniversary of the 158th anniversary of the founding of the State Police,
we celebrate 50 years of the presence of women in the armed forces.
The first woman who entered in 1960, before the Civil Police in Trieste, then women in the Police and then in the State Police, was
Scafa Rosa. Today Scafa
Rosa, 86, awarded by the chief of police with an award, reminds qunado was recruited and how he is passionate
a police officer, although he began service in the years just after the war, in Trieste, under the Allied Military Government (AMG)
with American and British soldiers that attracted a lot of prostitution.
the present day see a female police officer is something that is part of everyday life but in the 60s, years of the feminist movement and the struggle for gender equality
, years following the Second World War, a woman who enters in the State Police was nothing new.
A novelty because, never before, the fair sex had been able to play a role, which until then was exclusively human. The fact that
this woman was able to enlist, is exemplary only for those reasons but for the courage it took to make a choice
of this type, in a completely patriarchal society, at least until the 70s, in a society where women had very few rights, where it was
considered an object of possession by the father or husband, and finally where the majority of women had the sole responsibility of looking after home and children.
We consider Scafa Rosa, one of the women who gave way to gender equality in deeds and not words.
