The annual march against gender violence was held on Saturday 25 November, organized by the #NousToutes collective and other feminist associations, on the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
According to data from #NousToutes and the CGT, 80,000 people participated in the Parisian demonstration. Between them, “ a procession of Jewish feminists stepped aside », traces the magazine Chathighlighting the divisions in the feminist movement over the war between Israel and Hamas.
Put aside?
The magazine traces the large protection system deployed around this march, which denounced the atrocities committed by Hamas on 7 October, and “the deafening and incomprehensible silence of feminist associations and activists”. Bodyguards, CRS cordon… Faced with various threats received from the police and organizing associations, measures have been taken to prevent a potential anti-Semitic attack, reports Chat.
On social media, several activists reported being ordered to abandon the march. The procession never reached the Place de la République, he reports Chatwho contacted #NousToutes for confirmation:
At #NousToutes it is difficult to get a clear answer on the withdrawal of Jewish feminist activists, a divisive issue even within the national coordination of the collective. “He’s quite sensitive, a #NousToutes activist tells us, who prefers to remain anonymous and regrets the absence of Jewish feminists in the official march. This lack of stance on gender-based violence committed on October 7 is problematic. I think we should have talked about all victims of gender violence, be they Israeli or Palestinian. »
A few meters away, in the International Solidarity procession, an activist reminds our nuns Chat only ” Palestinian women and teenagers have been held in Israeli prisons for months, sometimes years “.
A dichotomy that has no reason to exist, according to Hanna Assouline, presented on November 25 and cited by our sisters: “We must be able to name and denounce the rapes and femicides that have taken place as well as stand in solidarity with Palestinian women currently suffering the consequences of war, these struggles must absolutely not be opposed. Recognizing them all is the only horizon for women today. »
ON “we condemn all violence against women”.
