[A few sunny weekends ago, some neighbours were having a barbecue on the other side of the hedge between our gardens and I heard the following call from one senior participant to the house (male) teenager (whom I renamed Alex), senior visibly set in genred roles.]
– Alex, Alex, viens vite, on a besoin de l’homme de la maison !
…
– Il faut que tu apprennes à faire les barbecues, pour pouvoir impressionner ta chérie !

[translated from a unified call by dozens of organisations and unions]
On this international day of November 25, in a context of more and more wars, our support goes to all women in the world, the first victims, along with children, of armed conflicts. We particularly show our support for the women of Ukraine, Burma, Palestine, Israel and Nagorno-Karabakh. We loudly proclaim our solidarity with our Afghan sisters kept under the yoke of appalling oppression when the mere fact of going to school becomes a heroic act. We reaffirm our sisterhood with Iranian and Kurdish women revolting for their freedom. We affirm our support to Uyghur women, persecuted and victims of a genocidal policy.
On November 25 we will march to pay tribute to all the victims of sexist violence, women, LGBTQIA+ people, to all those who suffer and struggle. To all those we have lost.ن زندگی آزادی [Women, Life, Freedom]
