Università degli Studi di Parma

The University of Parma, together with CUS Parma, has joined the JTWIA initiative ("Just The Woman I Am 2024") organized by CUS Torino and endorsed by the RUS Network, which took place on Sunday, March 3rd.

The event consisted of a 5 km run-walk within the Campus to raise funds for university research on health and cancer starting from women, promoting prevention and healthy lifestyles.

The Delegate of the Rector for the RUS, Professor Alessio Malcevschi, in conveying the University's greetings to the participants, reminded that the WHO and the Higher Institute of Health have repeatedly emphasized how the spread of old and new diseases is linked to the deterioration of the environment in which we live, hence the need to rethink the approach to well-being in terms of sustainability and One Health. As reiterated by SDG3 "Health and Well-being" of the UN 2030 Agenda, its achievement is also linked to social and environmental goals including the defeat of poverty, quality education, gender equality, and the right to decent work.
