‘Don’t Sit and Watch’ campaign launched by Juventus to fight violence against women

One in three seats turned orange, signifying the one in three women worldwide who will suffer violence during their lifetime.

Juventus, in collaboration with We Are Social Milan, are to mark International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women by creating ‘Don’t Sit and Watch’—a campaign which involved turning one in three seats in the Allianz Stadium orange.

This represents the one in three women who endure violence in their lifetime, to inspire people to take positive action to end violence against women.

For the Juventus-Atalanta match on November 27, the club coloured a third of the stadium’s seats in orange, the colour used for the international day which kicks off ‘Orange the World: END VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN NOW!’

It is 16 days of international activism against violence against women and girls, which is promoted by the UN and has run annually for the past 30 years. To turn the seats orange, seats were fitted with orange signs bearing the campaign’s plea: ‘Don’t Sit and Watch’ alongside a QR code that once scanned explains the initiative.

The campaign’s launch video, shown just before the whistle blew for the start of Saturday’s Juventus-Atalanta match, portrays some players—including Giorgio Chiellini, Cristiana Girelli, Enzo Barrenechea and Maddalena Nava—as they transform the stands of Allianz, inviting all fans to take action to change the numbers related to gender violence.
