The Orio Town Hall has joined today, October 15th, the International Day of Gestational, Perinatal, and Neonatal Loss. At the request of a citizen who has experienced this situation and in solidarity with all those who have gone through it, a flag has been placed at the town hall to express support and promote visibility.
The loss of a child during pregnancy, childbirth, or shortly after birth is a painful experience for families. Often, it is a grief experienced in silence and without adequate recognition. Therefore, the aim of this day is to make this reality visible, offer recognition and support to families going through this grief, and promote social awareness on the subject.
The Orio Town Hall wishes to express its solidarity and support to all citizens and families who have experienced or are experiencing this situation. Furthermore, it commits to addressing the issue in the coming months and to exploring awareness initiatives for the next academic year.
