The article highlights the concern that Arenal had for the most vulnerable categories, in particular for women, convinced that justice is inseparable from charity and that education is the most effective leverage for an authentic development.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
