[3] Joining the Consiglio Nazionale delle Donne Italiane (National Council of Italian Women), Schiavoni was one of the upper-class women who worked for women's suffrage, along with Sofia Bisi-Albini, Maria Grassi Koenen, Jacinta Martini Marescotti, Maria Montessori, Virginia Nathan, Maria Pasolini Ponti, Lavinia Taverna, and Angelica Devito Tommasi.
[4] In 1913, when the CNDI established a journal, Attività Femminile Sociale (Women's Social Activity) as its journal to disseminate information on the various groups working throughout Italy on women's issues, Schiavoni acted as its director for the first three years of operation.
The conference marked the first time women had been allowed to officially participate in an international treaty organization, and Schiavoni was with the delegation who made the historic presentation to the League of Nations on 10 April.
Their aim, as announced in an article written by Schiavoni in Giornale della Donna (The Woman's Journal) was to determine if regulating prostitution unjustly targeted women involved in the sex trade, without providing adequate health regulations or controls to vice, as legalization of the trade did not equally focus on clients.
