Feminists

Feminists, environmentalists and secular, we refuse to be intimidated by accusations of racism or "return of the colonial unconscious" leveled against progressives who resist the trivialization of the scarf. We reaffirm our commitment to the maintenance of republican institutions, which means not display religious beliefs whatsoever.

neighborhoods

We know that in the neighborhoods, there are attacks against coeducation, against equality for women and men, offensive aimed to decrease the status of women.
We know that the headscarf is not insignificant in areas where the Republic has relegated people of immigrant origin. Show that it is the norm for Muslim women is an insult to those who refuse. Pretending to be a party struggling against sexism while being represented by a woman wearing a headscarf is a sham.

Young girls and women who suffer the social pressures under the influence of fundamentalists we expect solidarity and support in their fight to avoid being assigned to wear the headscarf.

In the present context, women are the first affected by economic crises, social and environmental. They are still victims of patriarchy and male domination, and the first affected by the religious fundamentalists who constantly extract them from public space.

They deserve better than a dispute over the headscarf!

The regional elections should be an opportunity for real debate and bring forward proposals for these neighborhoods cease to be abandoned territories of the Republic and that women cease to be doubly penalized, as women and their origins.

The program for Europe Ecology presents proposals for both combat violence against women, to develop a culture of equality between men and women, but also to fight for acne against inequality between regions.

It is good to implement public policies that create the conditions for better living and living together are essential to the exercise of democracy.

Militant (e) s or the Green candidate (s) on Europe Ecology list, we act in the field of feminist struggles for years, working with associations of women, girls and boys of the neighborhoods. We also act in the struggle against racism and anti-colonial struggles for equal rights.

The police

The police investigation following the raid created a climate of widespread suspicion in the group. Each suspects the other of having spoken. François Duprat was also beaten and chased. Questions are emerging about Patrick Devedjian. A trap it is stretched. "It is called street Soufflot supposedly for a meeting. No sooner has he made the leap to the door he was struck, stripped and thrown in a bathtub. Four of his comrades accused him of having balanced the cops and submerged under water. They want him to sign a confession ' "says Frederic Charpier. Mr. Devedjian managed to escape by jumping out the window. And will be picked up by police. On July 12, 1967, the court of Rouen condemned 13 people to violence and assault with premeditation. MM. Devedjian Madelin and will be fined. The maximum sentence is 10 months suspended prison sentence against Alain Robert.
That women politicians claiming Europe Ecologie and for acne at the Greens, fly to the rescue of NPA, it challenges us.

Ilham Moussaid ensures that, if elected, she will not remove her scarf, taking to alibi: "The Abbe Pierre has served in a cassock in the National Assembly." Certainly, but there was more than half a century in a context of gender segregation that we do not want to relive, even in neighborhoods. Since then, women and feminist movements have fought vigorously for the equality of women and men, and relieve the burden on their religious life.

We reject the interference of any religion whatsoever in a public institution. Also, we can not accept from a person claiming the right candidate and be elected, simply because it comes from neighborhoods and affirmed "secular", while wearing a headscarf, and displaying its religious beliefs.

Recall the NPA and its support:

- As women and secular feminists and Democrats, Algeria, Iran, Afghanistan and for acne in countries under Islamic law, risking their lives every day in opposition to the forced wearing of veils;

- That the majority of Muslim women in France do not wear the headscarf, face resistance to their family and social environment not to wear it and make their religion a private matter.
