As Head of Gender Policies at UISP, she develops collaborations with various associations on projects dedicated to combating violence against women and the rights of LGBT+ people. Her work focuses on gender discrimination , access to sports, and the protection of diversity.
Over the years, she has been responsible and coordinated numerous social, environmental, and sports projects at the national and regional level, including Differenze e Differenze 2.0 , aimed at high school students, and Differenze in Gioco - Sport Libera Tutt* , a regional project aimed at creating sports that are more attentive to language and respect for the body.
