By our journalist Cécile Bouanchaud:
Like many demonstrators, Laure, 23, paid tribute to the gesture of actress Adèle Haenel, who left the Cesar ceremony after the consecration of Roman Polanski. With his sign “We get up and get out”, the audiovisual student says she had “heartbroken to see that these people, those who support Polanski, do not see the change coming”.
But the young woman prefers to retain the positive: “Soon it will be over, too bad for them.” The student notices an unequivocal change of society on the subject of sexism. “I am proud to be in this generation of women who are no longer afraid … this is just the beginning”, she says, evoking “a change of society”. “It takes time, but since #MeToo, it’s been moving“In this, this March 8 “simply serves to show that we exist, that we are there”.
While this mobilization wants to emphasize the diversity of struggles, Laure evokes “the decline in Europe of women’s abortion rights” and “the necessary sorority on the subject”. “There is no shortage of reasons to be there!”, she sums up. At his side, Rebecca, 28, who works in sustainable finance, wants to talk about the never seen number of feminicides in 2019 because it “stresses that our society believes that women have less value than men”.
