Women's Day: work at the centre of Sole 24 Ore initiatives

Articles, podcasts, workshops, books: it is an all-round commitment that of the Il Sole 24 ORE Group to promoting gender equality, which on the occasion of the International Women's Rights Day, Sunday 8 March, will involve all the group's platforms.

The year 2026 in particular marks a significant milestone for Alley Oop - The Other Half of the Sun, the multi-signature blog dedicated to diversity and inclusion issues, which celebrates ten years of engagement and information on diversity, equity in work and society, and women's leadership.

For 8 March, Il Sole 24 Ore and ilsole24ore.com will propose a special issue dedicated to women's rights in the world of work, with in-depth analysis of employment, companies and salary dynamics. The special will also feature an account of female excellence in sport, through an interview with Francesca Lollobrigida, Italian speed skating champion. The cultural insert Domenica will also dedicate in-depth articles and reviews to women.

On the audio front, Radio 24 presents the podcast My name is Cristina, the story of the princess of the Risorgimento edited by Rossana de Michele with the voice of Ambra Angiolini in the role of Cristina di Belgiojoso.

Radio 24 will also dedicate special programming appointments: on Friday 6 March in Melog Gianluca Nicoletti will talk with neuroscientist Raffaella Rumiati to dismantle clichés about cognitive differences between the brains of the two sexes. At None is far away, Giampaolo Musumeci will address the topic of women in conflict. On Sunday at Nessuna è perfetta Maria Latella's guests will be Lella Costa to talk about the resistance of Iranian women and the director of Next level Caterina Corapi to talk about education.
