YOUNG ECOLOGISTS SPEAK OUT OVER THE 101 WOMEN KILLED BY THEIR SPOUSE IN 2019

USPA NEWS - Since January 1, 2019, in France, hundred and one, (101) women have been victims of « feminicide » by their spouse or ex-spouse based on the count of the We All movement. This macabre figure is only the culmination of a long series of systemic violence that women face in our society. These begin with humor, language, sexist commercials, continue with emotional blackmail, humiliation, devaluation, worsen with physical assault, rape and end with murder.The Grenelle against domestic violence launched by the government and placed under the guidance of Marlene Schiappa, on September 3rd 2019, as a reference to the hotline phone number to dial in case of assault 3919. The Young Ecologists denounce this communication operation, whose first flaw is to reduce the field to domestic violence only when the problem is much wider and is related to political dynamics, societal and cultural systems.

THE GRENELLE AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE LAUNCHED BY MARLENE SCHIAPPA ON SEPT 3RD 2019 The Grenelle (Is a French Summit at Grenelle place closed to Eiffel Tower) against domestic violence launched by the government and placed under the guidance of Marlene Schiappa, on September 3rd 2019, as a reference to the hotline phone number to dial in case of assault 3619. The Young Ecologists denounce this communication operation, whose first flaw is to reduce the field to domestic violence only when the problem is much wider and is related to political dynamics, societal and cultural systems. In addition, the mechanisms to be implemented are already partly known: implement actions and training at school; increase the number of places in accommodation; to take charge of violent men; train all the people in contact with the victims ... which of course passes by additional means, which are still far from being at the rendezvous. The sum currently devoted to the prevention of violence against women is currently 79 million euros, or 0.02% of the budget. We demand acts beyond words, ceremonies and "great causes". Far from being able to be reduced to the sole treatment of end-of-war dramas, the fight against patriarchy and its dramatic consequences on women's lives must go through a systemic and ambitious policy that also questions the economic structures and cultural foundations of our society. which remain largely patriarchal despite advances in form. "The strengthening of accommodation facilities or the promotion of the emergency number 3919 are absolutely necessary measures, but they only react to the consequences of a society that creates daily and continuous risks for women's lives. " said Maxime Carpentiers, federal secretary of the Young Ecologists. "They should not be presented as" solutions "in themselves sufficient and we must ensure that feminicides are presented, understood and treated in their connection with the societal issues that condition the maintenance of patriarchy, beyond the displays and speeches, "adds Claire Lejeune, also co-secretary.--------------------------- We add that a society in which feminicides will cease can not be born of only protective measures or even of a formal equalization of the situations between men and women: it will emerge only if we integrate the specific conceptions of the notions of success, happiness , of freedom that women carry in their diversity, far from the shackles of the industrial, extractivist and consumerist patriarchal society, which in the same movement exploits the natural resources and the bodies of women ... The ecological and feminist struggle come together in the gesture of emancipation of dominations and farms. A feminist society is an ecologist society, an ecologist society is a feminist society. In order for #PlusUne to be killed, we must take the measure of the depth of the transformations to be made and get down to it without delay, with sufficient ambition and by aligning all the necessary human and budgetary means. #UnMilliardPasUnMillion.

MARLENE SCHIAPPA SEEN HELPLESS TO STOP FRENCH WOMEN TO BE KILLED BY THEIR SPOUSES "If there were any miracle solutions that would stop feminicides, we would have done it, previous governments would have done it before us." Marlène Schiappa, Secretary of State for Equality between Women and Men and the fight against discrimination, has been the target of criticism from feminist activists since she announced on Sunday 7 July in columns of the JDD, the establishment of a "Grenelle of domestic violence" to be held from September 3 to November 25. Caroline de Haas, initiator of the #NousToutes movement quoted by LCI, considers this government decision "disappointing" because it does not respond to the "emergency measures" requested by the collective.
