Breakfast at the Ministry for Family, Children and Women’s Rights

On Tuesday April 4th, the Fondation Scelles attended a breakfast coordinating meeting organized by the Ministry for Family, Children and Women’s Rights. Chaired by Minister Laurence Rossignol, the meeting gathered the associations who attended the CSW 61 in New York a few weeks prior, to share their impressions and sentiments.

 

 

Scheduled a few weeks before the presidential election, this breakfast also addressed matters from previous monthly meetings set up by Minister Rossignol, who is anxious to maintain a regular contact with the associations fighting for women’s rights.

 

Laurence Rossignol concluded this last meeting by recalling the current regression for women’s rights on the national and international levels. For example, the increase of conservatism and extremism, and reoccurring sexist speeches. Faced with these threats against women’s rights, she urged the associations to continue their efforts by building a common front, refusing intellectual complacency, and always supporting the fight against violence towards girls and women.
