FEMINISM...
I went in the iusy summer school especially for the feminism working group.Each day we had three work times.
In the morning,we have workshop three hours on different topics,for example we spoke about "Enhancing the position of women".In this workshop,we compared the situation of women in different countries : their economic situation,poverty,unemployment,the place of women in the culture,politics situation...but also prostitution or aborption. We could see that the prostitution is legal in country like Netherlands; there are a few women in our parlement,about only 15% in all the world;women represent 70% of poor people,70% of analphabets...50% of the women know physic violence in their life.
So, women are the first victim of injustice about power,payment,jobs and works etc.
An other workshop was about"women trafficking".We discusses about stories of women victim of it,especially on sexual trafficking in Europe;we spoke about worldwilde situation and presented the last iusy campaign."women ..not for sale".Unfortunetely,we observed that we don't use enough the Iusy campaign.It was frustrating because we didn't have time to speak about solutions and perspectives for this topic.
Each time,we maked a general presentation,received some documents,divided us in smaller groups,and finally maked a general presentation an open our mind...
In a second time,each afternoon we must integrate one media working group,in the aim to have a project at the end of the week.I went in the video working group: the topic was:Feminism and poverty.This year the Iusy wanted to developp this question.We wrote a script,prepared how we will organize this movie.The video insists on the fact that poverty must go away.We made some interview,of Iusy presidium menbers but although of most organisations about different questions:
1)What is poverty for you?
2)Do you think women are more poor than the men ? Why?
3)What is the situation in your country?Politics,jobs,culture...
Eventually,most of people said that this phenomen will change with education of women an men.Sometimes,we had strange reactions and comments,the situation of women in Russia is ok,they easily do anything exept in the rural areas..other opinion : the prostitution is a problem but in the same time it exits since ever...and some feminist think feminism for all! Sometimes it was difficult to spoke the same politic language,because it was more in the slogans than to search of political solutions.
At the end,we can say that feminism end poverty are socialist fighting.

The Feminism is a fight for young socialist, probably an important fight for french and international young socialist.
But, it often forget by the old socialist.
We must to fight for a new feminism.
Good fight !!
