FEMINISM

I am convinced that equality between women and men, as required by Article 23 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, is far from being achieved.
I am convinced that this is an important issue on which we should talk and discuss more.
That is why I call myself a feminist.
(Jacinda Ardern, Prime Minister of New-Zealand, gave in 2015 a similar statement, but with more words)

This page is dedicated to draw people's attention to this issue.
Because we must name the problem in order to make it visible and then tackle it together as a society.
