In observance of the International Day of Gestational and Neonatal Loss, celebrated on October 15th, the City Council has organized a remembrance and tribute event for Sunday, October 18th, at 10 a.m. The event is dedicated to infants who have died during pregnancy or shortly after birth, as well as to the families who have experienced this loss.
The event will include the reading of a manifesto, a minute of silence, a musical performance, speeches, and a floral offering. These actions will serve to keep the memory of the infants alive and as a gesture of support and solidarity towards their families.
Furthermore, on the night of October 15th, the council building will be illuminated in pink and blue, colors symbolizing solidarity and visibility for these losses.
The loss of a child during pregnancy or shortly after birth is a profoundly painful experience. Gestational, perinatal, and neonatal grief often remains invisible and surrounded by silence. In recent years, awareness has grown regarding the emotional and psychological consequences of these losses, highlighting the importance of respectful and sensitive support for families.
Through these initiatives, the City Council aims to contribute to making this reality visible, preserving the memory of the infants, and offering a space for remembrance, recognition, and support to affected families.
