1pm-1:45pm: Patriarcat, féminisme et G20

G20, power and the economic crisis… but what crisis really? In the media we’ve been hearing a lot about women’s and maternal health. But what does it really mean? What are the real impacts on the lives of women? Do they really care about the well-being and health of women? Or is it, yet again, another means of maintaining the privileges of white, Western, heterosexual men? And why not a crisis of patriarchy? This workshop is open to everyone. However the last part of the workshop will be reserved for people who identify as women.  A presentation by members of the Coalition féministe radicale contre le G20.
