01:02More than 800 young people have decided to do their civil service this year
01:08with Foxiv organizations. In Italy there are approximately 200 of them and they will strengthen the work of our organizations.
01:15in Italy. Abroad, this is the largest number, around 640 young people.
01:21The latest departures in recent days have been to Africa, Latin America, Asia,
01:28Middle East and Europe.
01:30In a national and international context where the arms race and military intervention
01:35it seems like the only solution better than any diplomatic negotiation, it seems significant to us
01:40that so many young people have instead made a non-violent choice to act for peace
01:45and for cooperation between peoples.
01:48In Boan, in the south of Mozambique, a home is being built for 64 children, orphans or in difficult conditions.
01:55of vulnerability. It won't just be an orphanage. Next to the dormitory there will be a farm.
02:0212 hectares of teaching land. Tomatoes, lettuce and potatoes will be grown in the vegetable gardens to bring
02:08products on the table and contribute to the expenses of the facility. The children will be able to attend
02:14the agricultural institute and graduate as surveyors. The initiative is organized by the Capuchin friars,
02:20as Fra Luca Santato explains.
02:22It is a project that also sees the presence of many young Italian volunteers, who every
02:27year they come here and leave their hand and interact with the local volunteers.
02:31In Boan the 8x1000 funds and the Catholic Church are decisive, a choice that transforms
02:37a portion of the taxes already paid on opportunities and the future, including in Mozambique.
02:44War is not fought with weapons alone, yet today there is no right to refuse
02:50to put your work at his service. So why does the Constitution in article
02:5511 says that Italy is a refuge from war?
02:57The popular initiative bill I object to war is based on this principle.
03:03that Emergency wants to bring to Parliament as part of the Repudiate campaign.
03:08On the dedicated website it is possible, by accessing with speed, to sign the petition for a
03:15rule that allows citizens to refuse to make available not only their own
03:20body, but also work activity and one's consent related to the design,
03:26production, trade and movement of weapons and instruments intended for war, without
03:31risk incurring sanctions. 50,000 signatures are needed to bring
03:38the text under consideration by parliamentarians.
03:39In a world marked by an increasing arms race, we believe there must be the right
03:44to say no, because war is not inevitable, but simply unacceptable and together we can
03:49decide to object to it.
