THE GIRLS' STRIKE – The heroic, comical feat of 1902

A LOOK AT THE WORLD

In June 1902, in Milan, a procession of little girls, "the piscinine," marched toward the Chamber of Labor singing the workers' anthem. Among them were girls as young as six, forced to work as apprentice seamstresses in unhealthy and exploited environments. It was the first European children's strike, a symbol of courage and the fight for rights. Their story, forgotten by time, reminds us that no progress is achieved without risk and commitment, teaching us to build a future of justice and solidarity.
