CALEM 2013 | Paris, 17th of May
IDAHO 2013 (International Day Against Homophobia)
Any discrimination based on any ground such as (…) sexual orientation shall be prohibited (Article 21 of the Charter of Fundamental rights
).
Several pieces of EU policy, and the Charter of Fundamental Rights in
particular, claim that citizens should not be discriminated for their
sexual orientation (and gender identity). Nevertheless, in none of the
EU countries do LGBT people enjoy full equality with heterosexual
citizens. Some member states are very close to full equality, whereas
others systematically deprive sexual minorities of their basic rights.
The European Union could do a lot more for these people, starting by
implementing existing regulations of freedom of movement and
non-discrimination which imply, for example, that all same sex couples
married or united in a civil union in one European country should
automatically be recognised in every other member-state (« mutual
recognition »).
Throughout 2011 and 2012, consultations were held on the issue of LGBT rights in Cluj-Napoca (Romania), in Bologna (Italy), in Sofia (Bulgaria) and in Brighton(UK).
Join us in Paris on the International Day Against Homophobia to elaborate and voice proposals on LGBT rights in Europe!
This consultation will focus on exploring best practices within various
EU countries in terms of LGBT rights with the aim of arriving at a set
of rights which the participants believe will need to be guaranteed for
all LGBT persons throughout Europe, and therefore enforced not only at a
national but also at a European level.
Discussions will take place in French; pannel about religions
and sexual diversity shall be moderated by the CALEM representative and
international coordinator.

CALEM 2013 | RABAT (Morocco),
Féminismes et religiosités: perspectives du Sud
Vendredi 10 mai 2013
Intervenant-e-s :
Houria ALAMI, Sara BORRILLO, Johanna BUISSON, Karima DIRECHE, Souad
EDDOUADA, Hanane EL MAJIDI, Joumana HADDAD, Asma LAMRABET, Stéphanie
LATTE-ABDALLAH, Shuruq NAGUIB, Jean ZAGANIARIS, Ludovic Mohammed ZAHED.
Argumentaire :
Du Maghreb au Machreq, l’émergence de nouveaux acteurs politiques et
religieux alimentent aujourd’hui des débats effervescents dans
différents pays du Sud, notamment sur l’avenir de la condition des
femmes dans des sociétés souvent marquées par des logiques dites
patriarcales. Les transformations politiques intervenues ces dernières
années dans les pays sud-méditerranéennes ont nourri l’impression de
changements importants achevés ou en voie de gestation. Fort de ce
constat et conscient de la polysémie des vocabulaires usités, cette
journée tentera d’analyser l’articulation entre féminisme et religion en
dépassant la simple opposition d’un féminisme laïque à un féminisme
islamique. En illustrant les multiples compréhensions pratiquées des
féminismes et des religiosités et en parcourant la diversité des luttes
féministes, ces échanges mettront en avant la richesse des débats en
cours à travers trois axes principaux –chacun d’entre eux explorant un
champ d’action privilégié par les acteurs. D’abord, le regard est porté
sur les réinterprétations contemporaines de textes sacrés à travers un
prisme résolument féministe. Ensuite, l’activisme féministe est analysé
au niveau du discours politique et de l’espace public. Enfin, une
attention particulière est accordée aux expressions littéraires de
combats visant une libération corporelle, sexuelle, identitaire et
religieuse.
Ouverture :
Lieu :
Ecole de Gouvernance et d’Economie de Rabat – EGE
Avenue Mohammend Ben Abdellah Regragui
Madinat Al Irfane BP 6283
