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.

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.
