Manifeste du Rassemblement pancanadien des jeunes f\u00e9ministes<\/a> [en below<\/em><\/a>]<\/p>\n

Nous sommes les jeunes RebELLEs qui ont r\u00e9pondu \u00e0 un appel f\u00e9ministe et nous sommes fi\u00e8res de nous dire f\u00e9ministes. Nous reconnaissons qu’il existe de multiples interpr\u00e9tations du f\u00e9minisme et nous c\u00e9l\u00e9brons et int\u00e9grons cette diversit\u00e9. Nous sommes engag\u00e9es \u00e0 favoriser l’expansion continue de la pluralit\u00e9 de nos voix. Nous sommes engag\u00e9es dans un processus constant de r\u00e9flexion autocritique visant \u00e0 alimenter et transformer notre mouvement. Nous reconnaissons qu\u2019au cours de l\u2019histoire, le mouvement f\u00e9ministe occidental majoritaire a exclu les femmes \u00ab alt\u00e9ris\u00e9es \u00bb qui sont repr\u00e9sent\u00e9es comme \u00ab autres \u00bb ou ext\u00e9rieures \u00e0 la norme blanche par l\u2019id\u00e9ologie colonialiste. Nous sommes d\u00e9termin\u00e9es \u00e0 apprendre de notre pass\u00e9, \u00e0 honorer les luttes men\u00e9es par nos pr\u00e9d\u00e9cesseures et \u00e0 nourrir nos r\u00eaves pour l’avenir. Nous appr\u00e9cions le soutien de nos alli\u00e9s qui appuient nos luttes f\u00e9ministes pour l\u2019\u00e9quit\u00e9 et la justice.<\/p>\n

Nous sommes des femmes de diverses capacit\u00e9s, ethnicit\u00e9s, origines, sexualit\u00e9s, identit\u00e9s, classes, \u00e2ges et \u00ab races \u00bb. Nous comptons parmi nous des femmes employ\u00e9es, sous-employ\u00e9es et sans-emploi, des m\u00e8res, des \u00e9tudiantes, des d\u00e9crocheuses, des artistes, des musiciennes, et des femmes dans l\u2019industrie du sexe. Nous pensons que les personnes trans, bispirituelles et intersexu\u00e9es font partie int\u00e9grante de notre mouvement. Nous reconnaissons et respectons la fluidit\u00e9 des genres et appuyons le droit \u00e0 l\u2019auto-identification. Nos espaces non mixtes sont ouverts \u00e0 toutes celles qui s\u2019identifient et vivent socialement comme femmes.<\/p>\n

On nous dit que le f\u00e9minisme est d\u00e9pass\u00e9. Si c\u2019\u00e9tait vrai, nous n\u2019aurions pas besoin de d\u00e9noncer le fait que :
\n
\nDans la r\u00e9alit\u00e9, bon nombre des revendications de nos m\u00e8res et de nos grand-m\u00e8res demeurent sans r\u00e9ponses. Les femmes continuent \u00e0 \u00eatre victimes de violence sexuelle. Nos communaut\u00e9s sont hant\u00e9es par le silence qui entoure ces agressions. Dans tout le Canada, et bien que nous y ayons droit, les services d\u2019avortement demeurent insuffisants. Partout au pays, des femmes colonis\u00e9es, marginalis\u00e9es, racis\u00e9es et handicap\u00e9es se voient forc\u00e9es de subir des avortements non-d\u00e9sir\u00e9s ou sans disposer des informations ad\u00e9quates, sont oblig\u00e9es d\u2019avoir recours \u00e0 la contraception ou m\u00eame sont st\u00e9rilis\u00e9es contre leur gr\u00e9. L\u2019hypersexualisation des femmes dans les m\u00e9dias nous a appris \u00e0 voir les femmes comme des objets sexuels plut\u00f4t que comme des \u00eatres humains \u00e0 part enti\u00e8re. La jouissance, le lesbianisme ou le fait d\u2019\u00eatre queer sont tabous et le choix d\u2019une femme de rechercher le plaisir sexuel est per\u00e7u n\u00e9gativement. Nos identit\u00e9s sont \u00e9rod\u00e9es d\u00e8s notre plus tendre enfance, alors que notre \u00e9ducation, la t\u00e9l\u00e9vision et les magazines nous dictent que notre apparence, notre fa\u00e7on de nous habiller et notre fa\u00e7on d’agir sont d\u00e9termin\u00e9es par notre sexe. La violence est normalis\u00e9e, les agressions sexuelles \u00e9rotis\u00e9es. Notre \u00e9ducation \u00e0 la sant\u00e9 sexuelle est inad\u00e9quate et nos droits reproductifs sont bafou\u00e9s. Nos besoins sont loin d\u2019\u00eatre combl\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

Dans la r\u00e9alit\u00e9, les femmes repr\u00e9sentent la majorit\u00e9 des personnes d\u00e9favoris\u00e9es. Notre gouvernement enl\u00e8ve les enfants de femmes pauvres et autochtones. Le capitalisme exploite les femmes de la classe ouvri\u00e8re et confine les femmes des classes moyenne et sup\u00e9rieure \u00e0 des r\u00f4les de \u00ab consommatrices \u00bb. On nous dit que l\u2019\u00e9galit\u00e9 est acquise, mais l\u2019\u00e9cart salarial persiste. Les femmes immigrantes se voient refuser la reconnaissance de leurs dipl\u00f4mes et sont forc\u00e9es d\u2019endurer des conditions de travail intol\u00e9rables pour pouvoir demeurer en sol canadien. Nous manquons de services de garde abordables et accessibles. Les femmes continuent d\u2019\u00eatre sous-pay\u00e9es, leurs contributions sont d\u00e9pr\u00e9ci\u00e9es et leur travail r\u00e9mun\u00e9r\u00e9 est sous-valoris\u00e9. Nous avons gagn\u00e9 le droit de vote, mais la discrimination fond\u00e9e sur le sexe perp\u00e9tue la sous-repr\u00e9sentation des femmes dans les institutions politiques.<\/p>\n

Dans ce monde globalis\u00e9, notre solidarit\u00e9 f\u00e9ministe doit s\u2019internationaliser. Les actions des \u00e9lites politiques et \u00e9conomiques canadiennes causent pr\u00e9judice aux femmes \u00e0 travers le monde, et ce, de fa\u00e7on sp\u00e9cifique. Les guerres, les g\u00e9nocides et la militarisation entra\u00eenent notamment l\u2019utilisation du viol comme arme de guerre, des f\u00e9minicides et l\u2019exploitation sexuelle de milliers de nos s\u0153urs. Le libre-\u00e9change contribue \u00e0 accro\u00eetre l’ins\u00e9curit\u00e9 sociale, \u00e9conomique et culturelle des femmes. En r\u00e9ponse \u00e0 l\u2019imp\u00e9rialisme canadien, nous construirons une solidarit\u00e9 f\u00e9ministe mondiale.
\nDans ce monde soi-disant postf\u00e9ministe, nos r\u00f4les sociaux continuent d\u2019\u00eatre d\u00e9finis par une vision traditionnelle du genre. Les forces religieuses et politiques qui visent \u00e0 maintenir les piliers du pouvoir dans notre soci\u00e9t\u00e9 nous emp\u00eachent de faire valoir nos droits. Nous d\u00e9non\u00e7ons l\u2019actuelle mont\u00e9e de la droite conservatrice dans la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 canadienne et les reculs que cela a entra\u00een\u00e9 pour l\u2019avancement des droits des femmes. Nous sommes d\u00e9pouill\u00e9es de certains droits conquis de haute lutte par celles qui nous ont pr\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9es. La g\u00e9ographie marginalise les femmes qui vivent dans des r\u00e9gions isol\u00e9es, rurales et du Nord o\u00f9 elles n\u2019ont pas acc\u00e8s \u00e0 certains services de base. Manifester notre solidarit\u00e9 avec nos s\u0153urs implique un effort pour comprendre tous les enjeux que nous devons affronter \u2013 y compris ceux li\u00e9s \u00e0 la \u00ab race \u00bb, \u00e0 la classe et au genre \u2013 et de nous tenir debout toutes ensemble contre les oppressions.<\/p>\n

Enfin, nous d\u00e9non\u00e7ons l’attitude qui disqualifie et \u00e9vacue le mouvement f\u00e9ministe sous pr\u00e9texte qu\u2019il est redondant. Notre lutte n\u2019est pas termin\u00e9e. Nous serons postf\u00e9ministes quand nous vivrons dans un postpatriarcat.<\/p>\n

F\u00e9ministes, unissons-nous!<\/p>\n

———————————————————————————–<\/a><\/p>\n

Manifesto of the Pan-Canadian Young Feminist Gathering<\/a><\/p>\n

We are the young RebELLEs who have answered a feminist call and we are proud to call ourselves feminists. We recognize that there are multiple interpretations of feminism and we celebrate and integrate this diversity. We are committed to the continual expansion of the plurality of our voices. We are committed to an ongoing process of critical self-reflection to inform and transform our movement. We acknowledge the historical exclusion of “Othered” women by the majority Western feminist movement. We strive to learn from the past, honour the struggles of our foremothers and continue to dream for the future. We value the allies of feminism who support us in our fight for equity and justice.<\/p>\n

We are women of diverse abilities, ethnicities, origins, sexualities, identities, class backgrounds, ages and races. Among us are employed, underemployed and unemployed women, mothers, students, dropouts, artists, musicians and women in the sex trade. We state that transfolks, two-spirited and intersexed people are integral to our movement and recognize and respect gender fluidity and support the right to self-identify. Our women-only spaces include everyone who self-identifies and lives as a woman in society.<\/p>\n

We are told that feminism is over and outdated. If this were true then we wouldn’t need to denounce the fact that:<\/p>\n

In reality, many of the demands of our feminist mothers and grandmothers remain unmet. Women continue to be the victims of sexual violence. Our communities are haunted by the silence that follows these assaults. Throughout Canada, in spite of our right to it, access to abortion services remains insufficient. Across Canada as well, colonized, marginalized, racialized and disabled women are coerced and\/or forced to undergo unwanted or uninformed abortions, forced to use contraception and are subjected to forced sterilization. The hyper-sexualization of women in the media has taught us to view women as sexual objects rather than complete human beings. Getting off, lesbianism and being queer are taboo and a women’s choice to seek sexual pleasure is seen as negative. Our identities are eroded as we are taught, from the time we are children, and through television and magazines, that how we should look, dress, and act is determined by our sex. Violence is normalized, sexual abuse eroticized. Our sexual health education is inadequate and our reproductive rights are disrespected. Our needs are not being met.<\/p>\n

In reality, women still represent the majority of the underprivileged. Our government steals children from poor and Aboriginal women. Capitalism exploits working-class women and confines middle- and upper-class women to “consumer” roles. We are told that equality has been achieved, but still the wage gap persists. Immigrant women are denied acknowledgment of their academic credentials and are forced to endure intolerable work environments in order to stay on Canadian soil. We lack affordable and accessible childcare. Women remain underpaid, underappreciated, and undervalued in the work force. We have gained the right to vote, yet gender-based discrimination keeps women virtually unrepresented in political office.<\/p>\n

In this globalized world, we must construct international feminist solidarity. The actions of Canadian political and economic elites harm women around the world, and in a way that is specifically gender-related. War, genocide and militarization are characterized by the use of rape as a war weapon, femicide, and the sexual exploitation of thousands of our sisters. Free trade contributes to women’s increasing social, economic and cultural insecurity. In response to Canadian imperialism, we will globalize our feminist solidarity.<\/p>\n

In this so-called post-feminist world, our roles in society are still defined by traditional views on gender. Religious and political forces aimed at maintaining the pillars of power in our society silence us from voicing our rights. We denounce the current rise of right-wing ideology in Canadian society and the steps backward in women’s rights that this has caused. We are being stripped of rights for which those who came before us fought hard. Geography marginalizes women, with remote, northern and rural women lacking access to basic services. Showing solidarity with our sisters means trying to understand all of the issues we face – including race, class and gender – and standing together against oppression.<\/p>\n

Finally, we denounce the dismissal of the feminist movement as redundant. Our struggle is not over. We will be post-feminists when we have post-patriarchy.<\/p>\n
