FORUM / Prekinuti začarani krug: novo lice muškosti

« on: March 22, 2013, 07:50:36 pm »

Rezultati različitih istraživanja sprovedenih među mladićima srednjoškolcima u BiH, pokazuju da 40% njih ne odobrava fizičko nasilje, ali tek 20% ne bi upotrebilo silu da odbrani svoju čast. Čak 7% njih je ošamarilo ženu. 69% mladih u BiH je bilo u nasilnoj vezi.
 
Ove alarmantne statistike pokazuju da je problem nasilja nad ženama također i problem muškaraca, problem čitavog društva. 
 
Šta znači kada mladići kažu da 'brane svoju čast' upotrebom sile? Šta znači biti muškarac u našem društvu?
 
'Biti pravi muškarac' je često uloga koju moramo da igramo, niz pravila koja  nalažu da se ponašamo u skladu sa vrijednostima koje nam društvo nameće. No, dobra vijest je da se te vrijednosti i uloge mogu mijenjati. 
 
U okviru završnog događaja kampanje UN agencija u BiH „Muškarci udruženi protiv nasilja nad ženama'' prikazuje se dokumentarni film Novo lice muškosti – uklanjanje stereotipa i usvajanje novih normi.
 
U filmu govore muškarci o očekivanjima koje je pred njih postavljalo društvo, pitanjima koje su postavljali sebi i drugima o tome šta znači biti muškarac, promjenama u prihvatanju stereotipa koje se mogu desiti kroz obrazovanje i učenje kroz pozitivne primjere.
 
Film se prikazuje u Mediacentru Sarajevo u ponedeljak, 25.03. 2013. godine, sa početkom u 17.00.
 
Nakon projekcije, slijedi diskusija u kojoj učestvuju: Damir Zeković, trener pri Asocijaciji XY;  Borka Rudić, novinarka i generalna tajnica Udruženja BH novinari; Saša Gavrić, direktor Sarajevskog otvorenog centra i član Lige pravih muškaraca; Nermina Vehabović Rudež, psihologinja. Moderator/ica: Slobodanka Boba Dekić, Mediacentar Sarajevo.
 
Kampanja „Muškarci udruženi protiv nasilja nad ženama''  pokrenuta je u novembru 2012. godine, sa ciljem da promovira ulogu zajednice i društvenu odgovornost kada je u pitanju prevencija nasilja, te povećanje fokusa na ovo pitanje da bi podstakao proces promjene postojećih stavova društva.
 
Jedna od aktivnosti kampanje je i osnivanje “Lige pravih muškaraca” koju čine muškаrci iz svijeta politike, novinаrstvа, muzike, filmа, sporta i drugih oblasti, a koji se bore protiv nаsiljа nаd ženаmа i djevojčicama. 
 
Ban Ki-Moon, Generalni sekretar Ujedinjenih nacija je 2008. godine pokrenuo Mrežu lidera, kao dio nastojanja da se muškarci uključe u rješavanje problema nasilja nad ženama i zauzmu jasan stav prema njegovom sprečavanju, te da putem zagovaranja i politika djelovanja, budu pozitivan primjer mladim muškarcima i dječacima.

FORUM / Michelle Bachelet: Reclaiming Public Spaces for the Empowerment of Women

« on: March 17, 2013, 07:31:57 pm »

"Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am pleased to be with you as we gather to talk about a subject critical to the well-being of millions of women and girls around the globe.

This subject seems, at first glance, so simple and straightforward so that we take it often for granted.

It is about the ability of women and girls to be safe in public spaces – it’s about being able to wait for a bus…ride a subway…sell goods in a marketplace…walk to school be in the school, a store or a voting booth…swim in a pool…visit a friend – safely and peacefully. But so often, women and girls are in fear of public spaces –they get accosted, threatened, harassed or assaulted.

Violence against women and girls takes place every day in public spaces around the globe. Most cases, however, remain hidden – unspoken, unreported, unaddressed.

But sometimes…sometimes…the acts are so horrific that when publicized they draw the outcry, the revulsion and condemnation of people everywhere…and they rally millions to demand change.

You heard me say it before – this happened last October when Malala Yousufzai, a 14-year-old Pakistani girl was shot by an assailant who boarded her school bus.

It happened in December when a 23-year-old medical student was robbed, gang-raped and thrown off a bus in New Delhi. All she wanted to do is get home safely after watching a movie. How many of you here in this room take it for granted to get home safely after an evening out with friends?

And it’s not just happening in the evening – it happened last month when Kepari Leniata, a 20-year-old Papua New Guinea mother, accused of witchcraft, was tortured and burned alive on a public street in broad daylight.

And it happens everywhere! More than 1 million women are stalked in the United States each year. Women and girls are kidnapped and sold into sexual slavery in Europe. Indigenous women disappear along British Columbia’s notorious Route 16, now called “The Highway of Tears.”

Instead of letting ourselves be overwhelmed by the staggering number of these incidents…

Instead of being paralyzed by the heart-rending stories of each individual victim…

Instead of being disheartened by what the prevalence of such violence might say about the state of humanity in the 21st century…

Let us speak; let us act; let us rise.

Events like our being together today allow us to share our experiences, our ideas and our recommendations to aid women and girls, our fellow human beings at risk around the world. If I have one hope, it is that when you leave this room after our meeting you are determined to take ACTION – to do what you can do to put an end to this.

We find ourselves at a unique global moment and opportunity. The momentum is there to break through the barriers to ending sexual violence and harassment in public spaces.

Research sponsored by the UN Safe Cities Global Initiative, for example, reveals that women and girls identify sexual harassment and fear of violence in public spaces as inhibiting their lives, and they are ready to break their silence about it and collectively move to action.

At UN Women, we are committed to working with the members of this panel, the members of this audience and all people of good will to bring experiences, diverse resources and determination to the table to maximize our impact and serve as a catalyst for change.

UN Women works collaboratively with UN-Habitat, UNICEF, UN Development Programme, and numerous global and local partners—including Huairou Commission, Women in Cities International, Women and HABITAT Network Latin America, and Groots International.

We work with many partners in cities across regions to develop innovative strategies to tackle this most important issue. We do this because we know that we have to unite to have greater and faster impact.

New cities are joining in our work all the time – including, most recently, Dublin, Ireland. In fact, our goal was to involve 35 cities by 2017, but that goal will be reached this year, in 2013.

And the Safe Cities program is already making a difference. In Quito, Ecuador, for example, women were encouraged to break the silence about their experiences through a public awareness letter-writing campaign. Some 10,000 letters were submitted and resulted in an amended city ordinance recognizing violence against women in public spaces.

In Rio de Janeiro, it’s making a difference through the use of mapping technologies to identify safety concerns in 10 of the city’s high-risk areas.

And it’s making a difference in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, where women organized a market vendor association and local government invested in improvements to ensure safety and a cleaner working environment.

I am excited and encouraged every day by the progress I see around me in this area. I know we have a long way to go, but change is happening.

I thank you for being here and I thank you for all you do.

I look forward to our conversation today and tomorrow and to our actions for many days to come. Let us work together for freedom and justice for all women and girls."

FORUM / UN Women welcomes Agreed Conclusions at the Commission on Status of Women

« on: March 17, 2013, 07:25:45 pm »

At the conclusion of the 57th session of the Commission on the Status of Women, UN Women welcomes the outcome of the meeting. The Agreed Conclusions are a testimony to the commitment of Member States to do the right thing, to prevent and eliminate violence against women and girls. In the last two weeks during the meeting in New York, and in the lead-up to this session, we witnessed global engagement and mobilization, high-profile advocacy by civil society, and determined leadership by many Member States. Expectations of the world’s women and girls were extremely high for this session of the Commission.

Violence against women is a universal problem that requires, and has now received, a universal response. Violence occurs in multiple forms in all countries and settings; it harms women and their families and communities, impedes development, and costs countries billions of dollars annually in healthcare costs and lost productivity. In 2003, when the Commission took up violence against women and human rights, Member States were unable to reach agreement. Thus I am particularly heartened that agreement was reached this year to end violence against women and girls. This agreement comes in unison with rising voices worldwide saying enough is enough.

The document adopted by the Commission condemns in the strongest terms the pervasive violence against women and girls, and calls for increased attention and accelerated action for prevention and response. UN Women welcomes the important focus on prevention, including through education and awareness-raising, and addressing gender inequalities in the political, economic and social spheres. The best way to end violence against women is to stop it from happening in the first place.

The document highlights the importance of putting in place multi-sectoral services for survivors of violence, including for health, psychological support and counseling, social support in the short and long term. It draws attention to the need for services to protect the right to sexual and reproductive health. Punishment of perpetrators is also highlighted as a critical measure to end impunity, as is the need to improve the evidence base and availability of data to inform an effective response.

By adopting this document, governments have made clear that discrimination and violence against women and girls has no place in the 21st century. They have reaffirmed their commitment and responsibility to undertake concrete action to end violence against women and girls and promote and protect women’s human rights and fundamental freedoms.

The agreement is one step more for realizing the rights and dignity of women and girls. But we cannot stop here. We need to do so much more. Words now need to be matched with deeds, with action. Now is the time for implementation and accountability. We must continue moving forward with courage, conviction and commitment.

UN Women, together with our partners in the UN system, will continue to advance the rights of women and girls through strong and coordinated support. We will work with Member States to turn the Agreed Conclusions of the Commission on the Status of Women into concrete results for women and girls.

We will move forward and build on the basis of the international agreements on women’s rights reached over many years, as articulated in the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), the Beijing Platform for Action, the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development, and other agreements and treaties.

There is no turning back. We will keep moving forward to the day when women and girls can live free of fear, violence and discrimination. The 21st century is the century of inclusion and women’s full and equal rights and participation.

FORUM / Moon: BiH bi bolje napredovala da u njenom vrhu ima više žena

« on: March 08, 2013, 06:37:35 pm »

Agencija za ravnopravnost spolova BiH, NATO-štab Sarajevo i Ambasada SAD-a u BiH organizirali su danas u Sarajevu, povodom Međunarodnog dana žena, konferenciju koja za cilj ima skretanje pažnje na izazove s kojima se susreću žene u BiH.

Također, ovo je bila i prilika da se ukaže na pozitivne pomake u oblasti ravnopravnosti spolova u BiH.

Direktorica Agencije za ravnopravnost spolova BiH Samra Hadžiabdić-Filipović istakla je da je stanje u vezi s ravnopravnosti žena u BiH daleko od idealnog, ali da je BiH, u posljednje vrijeme, poduzela ozbiljne korake ka ostvarivanju ovog cilja.

"BiH je potpisala prvu obvezujuću Konvenciju Vijeća Evrope - Istanbulsku konvenciju, a svi nivoi vlasti su dali saglasnost za njenu provedbu. Također, gender centri FBiH i RS-a u svoje strategije su uključili norme iz ove konvencije", pojasnila je
Hadžiabdić-Filipović.

BiH je, dodala je, prva zemlja u regiji koja je napravila Akcioni plan 1325 koji se već drugu godinu uspješno provodi. Podsjećamo, riječ je o provedbi Konvencije UN-a 1325 "Žene, mir i sigurnost".

"Još je mnogo toga ispred nas, još imamo diskriminaciju žena prilikom, recimo, zapošljavanja i mi nastavljamo, zajedno s partnerima, rješavanje i ovih, ali i ostalih pitanja", zaključila je.

Komandant NATO-štaba Sarajevo Walter Lord naglasio je da NATO intenzivno radi, u saradnji s OSBiH, na provedbi Konvencije 1325.

"Međunarodni dan žena je dan kada najbolje prepoznajemo značaj ravnopravnosti spolova. Ova konvencija je vrlo bitna i mi se trudimo da ženama u OSBiH osiguramo jednake šanse za trening i obuku kao i poboljšamo uvjete života i rada pripadnica OSBiH", istakao je Lord.

Uz čestitku ženama povodom 8. marta, ambasador SAD-a u BiH Patrick S. Moon kazao je da je uvjeren da bi BiH puno više napredovala kada bi u njenom vrhu bilo više žena.

"Moramo se oštro suprotstaviti nasilju nad ženama, nejednakom odnosu prema ženama pri zapošljavanju, nejednakim plaćama i slabom angažiranju žena u politici. Ambasada SAD-a pruža snažnu podršku vlastima BiH u rješavanju ovih pitanja", rekao je Moon.

FORUM / Message for International Women’s Day

« on: March 07, 2013, 12:23:11 am »

(New York, 5 March) In her message for International Women’s Day, UN Women Executive Director Michelle Bachelet called on the international community to deliver on their commitments and to protect women’s right to live free of violence. This year’s International Women’s Day coincides with the focus on ending violence against women at the UN Commission on the Status of Women— the annual gathering where countries agree on frameworks to address critical issues related to gender equality and women’s rights.

One of the greatest challenges of our times, violence against women and girls affects up to seven in ten women worldwide. Occurring in multiple forms in all countries and settings, it impacts women and their communities, hampering development, and also costing countries billions of dollars annually in healthcare costs and lost productivity.

Reiterating that change is possible and happening in many parts of the world already, Ms. Bachelet called on all Governments to accelerate progress and concrete policy actions to end violence against women. “This year on International Women’s Day, we say enough is enough.

Discrimination and violence against women and girls has no place in the 21st century. It is time for Governments to keep their promises and protect human rights in line with the international conventions and agreements that they signed onto. A promise is a promise,” she said.

Michelle Bachelet, UN Women Executive Director: Message for International Women’s Day 2013

Change is possible and change is happening

Today on International Women’s Day I join every individual who believes that change is possible. We are guided by a founding principle of the United Nations: the equal rights of men and women.

All around the world, our voices are rising, and silence and indifference are declining. Change is possible. And change is happening.

Change is happening when every country, for the first time in history, has women on their Olympic teams, as they did this past summer in London.

Change is happening when people worldwide declare solidarity with a Pakistani girl who was shot for championing education for all, a girl named Malala.

Change is happening when protests erupt across the globe with women and men, young and old, rising up and saying no to violence against women.

Today on International Women’s Day I have a message that has two sides, one of hope and one of outrage.

I have hope because awareness and action are rising for women’s rights. A belief is growing that enough is enough.

But I am outraged because women and girls continue to suffer high levels of discrimination, violence, and exclusion. They are routinely blamed and made to feel shame for the violence committed against them, and they too often search in vain for justice.

My message today is simple and straightforward. This year on International Women’s Day, we say enough is enough. Discrimination and violence against women and girls has no place in the 21st century. It is time for Governments to keep their promises and protect human rights in line with the international conventions and agreements that they signed onto. A promise is a promise.

When we set up UN Women more than two years ago, we made ending violence against women one of our top priorities. We are fully aware that this requires changing attitudes and making headway towards equal rights, equal opportunities and equal participation, especially in decision-making.

Last November, on behalf of UN Women I sent a letter to all heads of State and Government of the United Nations. I asked them to COMMIT and announce new actions to prevent and end violence against women and girls. So far, some 45 Governments have committed. I urge all Governments to commit to actions to end violence against women.

As we observe this Day, Government representatives and activists are gathered at the United Nations for the largest international gathering on ending violence against women. At the 57th Commission on the Status of Women, Governments are negotiating a global roadmap of actions to prevent and end these widespread human rights violations.

Ten years ago, when nations came together in this forum on this same issue, they were unable to reach agreement. Today, we cannot allow disagreement and indecision to block progress for the world’s women.

Yes, change is possible and change is happening. But given the atrocities committed each day, we must ask ourselves: Is change happening fast enough? How many more women and girls need to be violated? How many more families need to suffer?

The right of a woman to live free of violence depends on a strong chain of justice. Countries that enact and enforce laws on violence against women have less gender-based violence. Today 160 countries have laws to address violence against women. However, a law is only as strong as its enforcement and in too many cases enforcement is lacking.

So let us work together for strong laws and policies and for effective implementation. Let us work together for prevention and education and for programmes that provide essential services for the victims and survivors of violence.

Today and every day we say NO to discrimination and violence against women and girls.

NO to domestic violence and abuse.

NO to rape and sexual violence.

NO to human trafficking and sexual slavery.

NO to female genital mutilation.

NO to child brides and child marriage.

NO to murders committed in the name of honour or passion.

NO to femicide.

NO to impunity.

And we say YES to peace, human rights, justice and equality.

Today on International Women’s Day and every day, let us go forward with courage, conviction and commitment, with the message that women’s issues are global issues that deserve urgent priority. There can be no peace, no progress as long as women live under the fear of violence.

Intervju / Muškarci su i dalje dominantni na rukovodećim mjestima u BiH

« on: March 04, 2013, 11:58:33 pm »

Agencija za ravnopravnost spolova uradila je analizu na nivou BiH, prema kojoj je vidljivo da, osim što nema žena ministrica u Vijeću ministara, one su uglavnom manje zastupljene i na ostalim rukovodećim funkcijama u državnim institucijama, uredima i agencijama.

Kako je kazala direktorica Agencije Samra Filipović-Hadžiabdić, od deset zamjeničkih pozicija u Vijeću ministara, šest pripada ženama. Tu je situacija nešto bolja za razliku od pomoćničkih mjesta, gdje su 42 muškarca i samo šest žena.

"Prema analizama 59 institucija BiH, što obuhvata agencije, direkcije, zavode, institute..., na najvišim rukovodećim funkcijama nalazi se 31,6 posto žena, a na pozicijama zamjenika 24,3 posto su žene, na mjestima pomoćnika 47,8 posto su žene", kazala je Filipović-Hadžiabdić.

Položaj žene i (ne)ravnopravnost spolova nisu problem samo Bosne i Hercegovine, već cijelog svijeta.

"Činjenica je da u slučajevima kada je teška ekonomska situacija dolazi i do većih problema u ravnopravnosti spolova. Sigurno da imamo mogućnost jačeg ekonomskog osnaživanja žena puno lakše bismo rješili i određene probleme i pomogli ženama koje trpe porodično nasilje. Tada bismo bili u mogućnosti da ih ekonomski osnažimo. Žene se najčešće vraćaju nasilnicima iz ekonomskih razloga. Kažu da je lice siromaštva lice žene, naročito u patrijahalnim društvima kakvo je BiH. U tom slučaju one se odriču onoga što im pripada u korist cijele porodice", kazala je direktorica Agancije.

Filipović-Hadžiabdić je kazala da BiH ima dobru legislativu koja tretira ovu problematiku, ali da se mora raditi više na svim nivoima, naročito lokalnom. Ukoliko ne postoji implementacija dobro urađenih strategija, onda sve ostaje mrtvo slovo na papiru, ocjenjuju u Agenciji.

U BiH se obilježava Sedmica ravnopravnosti spolova, koja završava 8. martom, Danom žena. Tim povodom Agencija za ravnopravnost spolova BiH provodi niz aktivnosti zajedno sa ostalim organizacijama i gender centrima. Tako će 8. marta zajedno sa NATO-om biti organizirana konferencija o temi ravnopravnosti spolova. Projekti koji se provode u toku ove sedmice podržani su iz Finansijskog mehanizma za implementaciju Gender akcionog plana BiH (FIGAP) za 2013. Više od milion KM je uloženo u provedbu projekata, a nevladine organizacije su im doprinijele svojim znanjem i resursima.

FORUM / “One Woman” - song launching on International Women’s Day

« on: March 03, 2013, 10:51:02 pm »

From China to Costa Rica, from Mali to Malaysia acclaimed singers and musicians, women and men, have come together to spread a message of unity and solidarity: We are "One Woman".

To be launched on International Women's Day, 8 March 2013, the song is a rallying cry that inspires listeners to join the drive for women's rights and gender equality. "One Woman" was written for UN Women, the global champion for women and girls, to celebrate its mission and work to improve women's lives around the world. This year, International Women's Day will focus on ending violence against women — a gross human rights violation that affects up to 7 in 10 women and a top priority for UN Women. As people everywhere prepare their commemorations, "One Woman" reminds us that together, we can overcome violence and discrimination: "We Shall Shine!" Join us on 8 March to help spread the word and enjoy this musical celebration of women worldwide.

Dešavanja / Obilježavanje "Sedmice žena u RS povodom 8. marta - Međunarodnog dana žena"

« on: February 28, 2013, 05:40:25 pm »

Gender centar - Centar za jednakost i ravnopravnost polova Vlade Republike Srpske organizuje „Sedmicu žena u Republici Srpskoj (04-08.03.2013. godine) povodom 8. marta - Međunarodnog dana žena“. Tim povodom organizovani su razni događaji i posjete udruženjima žena, Sigurnim kućama i ženama preduzetnicama širom Republike Srpske. Međunarodni dan žena obilježava se 8. marta svake godine. Tog dana se slave ekonomska, politička i društvena dostignuća žena. Takođe, na ovaj dan se podsjeća i na težak položaj žena u društvu koje su i dalje diskriminisane po osnovu pola  u javnom i privatnom životu, veliki broj njih su žrtve nasilja po osnovu pola i nasilja u porodici, a nekima su ugrožena ili u nedovoljnoj mjeri omogućena osnovna ekonomska, socijalna, politička i kulturna prava. Tradicionalne i stereotipne uloge koje se ženama takođe nameću i dalje otežavaju njihov napredak u društvu. Zbog svog istorijskog, ali i aktuelnog značaja, ovaj dan treba da se obilježava dostojanstveno i s poštovanjem u znak zahvalnosti onim ženama koje su se borile za pravo glasa, pravo na rad i bolje radne uslove, pravo na život, pravdu, mir i dostojanstvo za sve. Za potrebe obilježavanja „Sedmice žena u Republici Srpskoj povodom 8. marta - Međunarodnog dana žena“ Gender centar Vlade Republike Srpske je pripremio kalendar obilježavanja sedmice žena u Republici Srpskoj povodom 8. marta- međunarodnog dana žena (4.-8.03.2013.godine) koji možete pogledati ovdje:

FORUM / Narandžasti upitnik

« on: February 24, 2013, 03:26:06 pm »

Institut za razvoj mladih KULT provodi anketu s ciljem ispitivanja stavova o zastupljenosti nasilja nad ženama i granici toleriranja nasilja među mladima.
Ovo istraživanje dio je globalne kampanje Narandžasti dan u cilju podrške prevenciji nasilja nad ženama i djevojkama koji u okviru Global UNiTE Youth Network kampanje za Bosnu i Hercegovinu organizira Institut za razvoj mladih KULT.

Simboličnog naziva - Naradžasti dan, akcija svjetskih razmjera će u ponedjeljak, 25. februara, osmi put biti provedena u brojnim gradovima širom Planete, s ciljem prevencije nasilja nad ženama i djevojkama.

Ispunjavanje upitnika trajaće svega nekoliko minuta, a nama će omogućiti da analiziramo stanje u našoj zemlji te nivo svjesti o raširenosti o nasilju nad ženama i među mladima.

Upitnik možete naći ovdje:

Intervju / Jelena Višnjić, organizatorica BeFema

« on: February 17, 2013, 05:32:50 pm »

Kako je nastao BeFem festival?

BeFem je nastao iz neformalne inicijative koju smo pokrenule Christina Wassholm (švedska novinarka i feministkinja sa adresom prebivališta u Beogradu) i ja, razvijao se i rastao kroz suradnju i transfer znanja aktivistkinja i aktivista, teoretičarki i umjetnica iz Švedske, Srbije i regije. On svakako pripada kontinuitetu feminističkih praksi ovih prostora, ali istovremeno je otvorio prostore za nova djelovanja, glas neke nove generacije feministkinja sa različitim privatnim i javnim historijama.

Koliko je društveno, politički i aktivistički ovakav festival bitan za Beograd, i prepoznaju li to mediji, posjetitelji i druge kulturne institucije?

Nije zahvalno da ja govorim o njegovom značaju na beogradskoj, srbijanskoj ili regionalnoj festivalskoj, feminističkoj sceni, ali mogu potvrditi da posljednje tri godine mi ambiciozno i učinkovito radimo na realizaciji naše zamisli da festival postane jedna od beogradskih kulturnih institucija. Ali i šire. On svakako donosi sadržaj koji nije dio korpusa dominantnih tema u javnom, ali i u feminističkom diskursu i tu ja vidim njegov potencijal.

Koliko se posljednjih godina uspio nametnuti na festivalskoj sceni Beograda i u čemu je njegova važnost?

Uspjeh je svakako to što se brojnost publike BeFema iz godine u godinu povećava, što su to neka nova lica, koja tek otkrivaju feminističke politike i subverzivne strategije. Sa duge strane, u medijskom sadržaju i nastupima iznova ističemo važnost festivala kao feminističkog što predstavlja jednu vrstu otpora agresivnom uplivu gender mainstreaminga, sa svim zamkama institucionalizacije feminističke politike. Više puta sam u javnosti naglasila da je za mene BeFem prostor koji otvara mogućnost permanentnog promišljanja stvarnosti, ali i kritike svih etabliranih načina mišljenja, pa i feminističkih, u svakom slučaju mjesto promjene, koje ne bi bilo moguće bez podrške i solidarnosti, strateških savezništva koje smo gradile sa našim prijateljicama iz feminističkog pokreta u Srbiji.

Što nam možete reći o vašim suradnicama iz Švedske? Koliko su njihova iskustva i politike imale utjecaja na BeFem i njegov razvoj?

Ne bih ja govorila o hijerarhiji znanja, mi smo sve u jednom procesu izgradnje pravednijeg i odgovornijeg društva. Feministička praksa nije neka unaprijed definirana matrica, ona je djelovanje u određenom političkom kontekstu i predstavlja različite tehnologije otpora vladajućim strukturama moći koje proizvode nejednakost. To su žene koje su prisutne i angažirane na švedskoj feminističkoj teorijskoj, aktivističkoj, umjetničkoj sceni sa zanimljivom i plodnom produkcijom. Čini mi se da prije učimo jedne od drugih prevodeći naše stvarnosti.
BeFem nam donosi mnoštvo glasova i tijela koja će pokazati da li i na koji način različite feminističke intervencije u javnom prostoru i zajednici mijenjaju stvarnost i prave pukotine u sistemima koji se stalno, iznova izloženi procesu re/patrijarhalizacije. Odgovor na ovo pitanje može svakako doprinijeti dekonstrukciji različitih oblika represije.

I na kraju mislim da je važno da naglasim da je cilj BeFema i svih nas koji sudjelujemo u njemu da pokažemo svu radost, zadovoljstvo u bivanju feministkinjama. Humor i sreća kao strategija življenja.
