RITA ATRIA

Partanna, 4 September 1974 - Rome, 26 July 1992

Indirect victim of the mafia, Rita Atria grows up in a mafia family context and chooses to rebel and break the cage of silence by becoming a collaborator of justice. Her life, however, was interrupted at the age of only 17 when, following the state of prostration in which she had fallen after the killing of judges Falcone and Borsellino, she threw herself from the seventh floor of a building in the Tuscolano district, in Rome, where she had been recently transferred under the protection of the high anti-mafia commissioner. It was July 26, 1992 and his dream of redemption was broken: “Those bombs in a second wiped out my dream, because they killed those who, with their example of courage, represented the hope of a new, clean, honest world. Now everything is over ”.

The Cause

Se non lo facciamo noi, chi lo deve fare?

Nata in Calabria nel 2005, daSud è un’associazione di promozione sociale da sempre impegnata nel contrasto socio-culturale delle mafie, nella promozione dei diritti, nel rilancio delle periferie e nella sperimentazione di un nuovo modello educativo.

Dal 2009 opera a Roma dove nel 2016 ha lanciato il progetto educativo, sociale e culturale di ÀP, l’Accademia Popolare dell’antimafia e dei diritti che ha preso vita, a marzo 2017, all’interno degli spazi sotto-utilizzati di una scuola della periferia sud-est della Capitale (l’IIS Enzo Ferrari di Cinecittà/Don Bosco): un luogo generativo e inclusivo contro la dispersione scolastica e per la riattivazione del territorio che oggi ospita una biblioteca, un cinema, un teatro, una radio e uno spazio per i più piccoli aperti alle scuole del territorio e alla città.

daSud si distingue per le produzioni culturali, le campagne come strumento di denuncia e sensibilizzazione, le proposte concrete per una buona governance dei territori e per un’antimafia delle opportunità e i percorsi di formazione con i daSud Lab. A Roma ha aperto la Mediateca Giuseppe Valarioti, la prima su mafie e antimafia, e fondato la web radio RadiodaSud.

Tra le sue ultime iniziative ci sono “Mai dire mafia”, l’inchiesta partecipata per mappare il potere criminale a Roma, e il protocollo “Roma Senza Mafie”, promosso con Avviso Pubblico, in occasione delle amministrative del 2021, per un impegno concreto dell’amministrazione comunale contro mafie, criminalità e corruzione nella Capitale.
