What ReDiPSi - Rete di Psicologi per i Diritti Umani does

ReDiPSi - Rete di Psicologi per i Diritti Umani is an Italian non-profit association (Associazione) founded in 2020 that convenes psychologists working at the intersection of clinical practice and human rights. The organization operates with a small team of approximately 1–10 staff and volunteers, organized around seven thematic working groups covering LGBTQIA+ rights, disability rights, women's rights, children's rights, migrant rights, mental health, and professional ethics. Its primary geographic footprint is in Italy, with operational presence concentrated in Lombardy.

The association's core programmatic activities include educational delivery (52 webinars with 130+ speakers produced in 2021), policy advocacy, and partnership-based service delivery. Institutional relationships include a three-year partnership agreement signed with UNICEF Italia in April 2022, membership in Gruppo CRC coordinated by Save the Children, and operational partnerships with La Vigna di Mattia, Rete Dafne, and Spazio IRIS (the latter enabling ECM-accredited training for members). In October 2024, ReDiPSi held its first National Conference in Milan, and in November 2024 it inaugurated the Premio alla memoria di Paola Di Blasio recognition award. Governance rests with President Gabriella Scaduto, Secretary Benedetta Comazzi, and Treasurer Federica D'Ambrosio.

ReDiPSi's business model is a standard non-profit membership structure funded through annual member dues of €20 per member, with no commercial product line, no technology platform, and no external investors. There is no proprietary product or AI/ML component; the offering is programmatic, community-mediated, and advocacy-oriented. Revenue scale is inherently small given the dues level and organizational headcount, with predictability derived from a distributed member base rather than any single institutional anchor.

Partnerships

Five partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• UNICEF ItaliacoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 20 April 2022A three-year partnership agreement was signed between UNICEF and ReDiPsi on April 20, 2022, with the objective of promoting greater knowledge and awareness of the rights of children and adolescents, and the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and Adolescence. The agreement was covered in press including Corriere della Sera. The collaboration also includes work on LGBTQ+ rights for children and adolescents, with ReDiPsi developing content for UNICEF Italia's platform on this topic.
• La Vigna di MattiaminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerReDiPsi collaborates with La Vigna di Mattia, an association created in memory of a young man, on the 'Con Di Vivere' project which provides respite opportunities (glamping experiences in nature) for families who have lost a child or sibling to crime. Pietro Barbetta (founding member of ReDiPsi) and Armando Toscano (Treasurer) provided commentary on this project. The collaboration involves psychological support and solidarity for victims of crime.
• Save the Children (Gruppo CRC)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerReDiPsi participates in the CRC Group (Gruppo CRC), coordinated by Save the Children, which brings together over 20 organizations across Italy to monitor the state of implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and Adolescence. ReDiPsi joined through its Area Diritti dell'Infanzia e dell'Adolescenza, contributing to annual reports and advocacy.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Others

• Human Rights Watch: Global human rights research and advocacy organization. It is comparable to ReDiPsi in mission scope across child, women, migrant, and LGBTQ+ rights, but operates as an investigative NGO rather than a professional member association.
• Amnesty International Italia: Italian branch of the global human rights NGO. It is comparable to ReDiPsi as an Italy-based organization working on the same vulnerable populations (children, women, migrants, LGBTQ+) from a human-rights framing, but without the psychology-professional membership angle.

Broad incumbents

• International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS): Global umbrella for national psychology associations and scientific psychology bodies. Comparable to ReDiPsi as the international-level psychology membership structure, but focused on scientific rather than advocacy activity.
• American Psychological Association (APA): The largest psychology association globally, with explicit human-rights programming through its Office of International Affairs. It is comparable as a professional psychology association with structured human-rights activity, but operates at vastly greater scale and US-centric scope.
• British Psychological Society (BPS): Large UK chartered psychology membership body with divisions covering ethics, social, and clinical psychology. It is comparable as a national psychology membership organization with human-rights-adjacent policy work, but is far larger and UK-focused.
• European Federation of Psychologists Associations (EFPA): Umbrella federation of European national psychology associations. It is comparable to ReDiPsi as a higher-level psychology membership structure and a potential platform for ReDiPsi's pan-European ambitions, but operates at federation rather than member-individual scale.
• Consiglio Nazionale Ordine Psicologi (CNOP): Italy's national regulatory body for psychologists. It is comparable to ReDiPsi as the principal national professional psychology institution in Italy, but it is statutory/regulatory in nature and does not focus specifically on human rights advocacy.

Direct peers

• Associazione Italiana di Psicologia (AIP): Italian scientific association of academic and professional psychologists. It is comparable to ReDiPsi as an Italian membership-based association of psychologists, but with a broader scientific rather than human-rights advocacy mandate.
• Psychologists for Social Responsibility (PsySR): US-based association mobilizing psychologists around social justice and human rights issues. It is the closest direct peer to ReDiPsi in combining psychological professional identity with explicit human-rights/social-justice advocacy.

Emerging players

• Società Italiana di Psicotraumatologia (SIPRe): Italian scientific society for psychotraumatology. It is comparable as an Italy-based specialist professional association of psychologists focused on trauma in vulnerable populations, a segment overlapping with ReDiPsi's victim-support and migration work.
