Cette semaine au Parlement européen

Cette semaine, le Parlement européen tiendra une mini-session plénière à Bruxelles (13-14 novembre).

These women are from different countries such as Afghanistan, Italy, Belgium, Taiwan, Congo, Cambodia and Morocco. However with so much pressure those women have not hesitated to pursue their activities despite the difficulties and have always strived to change society.

The second Prize of European leadership for Women, held yesterday in the German Mission-Hessen to the European Union, it is coinciding with International Women’s Day, which is celebrated worldwide on March 8 each year.

This year the award was given to those who were well-versed active in areas such as: human rights, politics, information and Journalism, commerce, economics and sports, and were selected from different religions regardless of skin color and race, and in a perfect atmosphere. The prizes were warmly and generously awarded.

Mr. Radouan Bachiri, president of the European leadership Women Association, presented effective motivations for launching the initiative, saying that standing up for women’s aspirations around the world is truly shoulder of shoulder with women and strives to make it possible every year. Recognize some women who have done useful work and offer this award to honor their work.

For Parliament Member Pierre-Herzberg Fofana and Parliamentary Representative Claus Buchner, I also take the opportunity to thank the President of Hesse’s Representative to the European Union Friedrich von Housingen for his embrace of this annual date.

Parliament Member Pierrette-Herzberg Fofana and Parliamentary Representative Claus Buchner as well as President of the Hessen, Bjorn Hultin, Frank Schwalba-Hoth former European MEP represented of the European Union and several women activists are participating in this program and advocating for women’s advancement. Announced various fields and thanked the participation of women in such circles.

Zahra Saad, Born in Morocco, she discovered that her passion is science, especially how science can contribute to the wellbeing of the sea, the human beings living at and with the sea, not to forget the coastal biodiversity. She studied there for biology, health and chemistry.

Whose extensive work has made her a guest speaker at various conferences a cross three continents such as: the United States, Britain, Spain, France, Italy, Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt and South Korea and so on World-wide participation in sustainable development, mutual respect, a peaceful world, and an end to discrimination against women, on behalf of the Kingdom of Morocco, spoke of the active role played by Moroccan women in advancing the development wheel in their own country, praising the different positions and responsibilities that they have.

Evelyn Amaral Garcia from Italy, she was already a strange child – reading daily about eight hours and dreaming of the rest of the world. So she travelled (up to now) through 44 countries: living as a falconer in Ireland, working as a reinederherderwith the Inuit in Greenland, staying with 163 sled dogs in Lapland in Northern Finland (often accompanied by her son, who is no nine years old).

She is volunteering for the Operational Group for Civil Defense (NOPC) with international missions for international human organ transplant logistics around the world, from the donators’ hospital to the receiver hospital. To show that climate change includes as well a change of our behavior pattern, she refuses to own a car (walks a lot instead) or to buy plastic bottles. To counterbalance the narrow-minded ideas behind the Brexit vote, she hitchhiked with a female lawyer during 15 days for 5,600 km throughout Europe and slept in strangers houses in order to write a blog about the importance of Europe and for demonstrate that with a lot of trust, lack of fear, courage, friendship with strangers and unity, every mission in Europe is possible.

Evelyn is continues to the political and social activist up to now, she said, you are a woman, you are a mother. Being a mother, you have the mandatory obligations to fulfill in order to keep your kid thriving, women can work as a mother in their own families and maintain their societies. It doesn’t matter because we can communicate with you, you can have a better look and be able to avoid them and limit them if you wish. Given the dangerous situation, you can have a specific location to view. You can control this situation, you can judge for yourself, you can also love your child and love yourself, and you can now budget for your own personal and political affairs and family in the community.

We have your baby’s latest love, praise and suggestions with all the heart of the video. As a child I’m talking about, you can have other girls you can have in your family. To be able to let you in, it’s very transparent and you can do it. Help her, listen to her.

You always have to put your children well being before every daily obligation. Don’t kill her dreams. If she tells you she will be a rebel, a scientist, an astronaut, you won’t ever be so mean to tell her that it would be very hard for a woman to reach that goal. Don’t ever limit her explorations just because they don’t have a common goal, we should be very close to them and guide them in the good way, never leave them alone.

She added: if she has toxic relationships, make sure she runs away from them, and stays alone instead. Sometimes the most dangerous place looks like the safest place. You have to intervene in this situation, because she cannot judge by herself, since she is just a kid looking for love.

I would like to say, love, admire, and follow her suggestions with all your heart. The child I am talking about is not your daughter, but your inner child. Do everything you can, in order to let her thrive and let her voice heard. Help her, listen to her, and keep her creating an unimaginable world.

Lailuma Sadid as the daughter of a leading politician engineer, she was blessed by destiny as her school years fell into the period when a variety of possible were no longer forbidden for female. Having witnessed the extreme living conditions of marginalized parts of the society, she decided to inform a broader public and studied journalism at the University of Kabul.

Already during these studies, she started to work as communication officer for a ministry, reported as a journalist from the historic moment of the decision of a new constitution, diplomacy and gender issues. She was the first female journalist insisting not to cover her hair in TV. She was headhunted to join the media team of the Foreign Affairs Ministry and appointment as diplomat in the Embassy of Afghanistan in the kingdom of Belgium.

Her presence as a modern, value-oriented and fearless media expert influenced the Afghanistan embassy of Belgian to offer her a post. In this new function she co-organized two NATO-Afghanistan summits. Here in Europe, she continued her journalism studies few courses in Brussels and finished her master in Political Science at ULB. She is the only Afghan media representative in the EU capital and is now freelance journalist for two news agency, three radio stations, four TV channels and few different newspapers.

She secretly taught classes in her house for few girls every day for 60 to 90 minutes, she was punished, flogged twice by Taliban to stop teaching them. They move to Takhar province in Worsege district with more than 33 thousand of populations, and where her Brother and sister were worked in the Swedish clinic as doctors to help their citizens. She open the first high school for girls and teaching them, to change their lives. After the Taliban’s defeat, she returned to Kabul and completed her education in journalism from Kabul University. Seeing the harsh conditions of life in a highly religious community, she again decided to work as a journalist and walk to defend their rights. Although threatened with death thousands of times, she did not back down from her goal of achieving freedom, justice and equality, and continued her dreams.

Lailuma said: I was only 21 when the Taliban regime had been toppled. It was not compulsory for women to cover their face, hands, hair and body with a Burqa any longer but society wasn’t ready for that. I believe that the small things can, with time, change the mentality of the society. Then I said no to the compulsory veil.

She added: I tried to open the way for other women, I was the first and youngest Afghan female journalist who refused to wear the scarf in 2003. It wasn’t easy but I chose my way. It was time for our country, especially for women, to stand up and fight for our rights and freedom. She attended President Karzai’s press conference in 2003, I was allowed to ask questions. Mr. Karzai told me in English “you ma’m” Normally he used the words ‘you lady or sister’ in Farsi, but he talked to me in English. I introduced myself in Farsi and as a joke I said “I don’t speak English”. He looked surprised because I had no veil on and my hair was short and blond, he thought I was a foreigner.

She said my problems started after broadcasting in TV, hundreds of phone calls came to my husband and my family because they weren’t happy that I appeared without any veil on TV, I also had difficulty at work my colleagues didn’t agree to let me go to press conferences without a scarf. I told myself, “I’m strong and I won’t give up. I said to other girls if not today than when?!” we fight for freedom, equality and justice. I continued the battle for the future of our girls.

I was ready to fight no matter what for freedom and giving up was not an option. Today, I want to speak here to raise the voice of FARKHODNA, TABASOM, ROKHSHANA and thousands of others voices who were silenced, killed and stoned to death by these insurgents group of Taliban. The Taliban who whipped a woman for talking on the phone with a man and stoned a girl because she was in love, she added. Let me say a few words about the US peace deal, who has signed an agreement aimed to end the war in Afghanistan. Many factors could still disrupt the peace process, the role of women, who make up 50% of society, was not taken into consideration, in this deal. I am concerned about the future of women, and I hope they will not experience the dark times of our past, she added.

Today women and girls in Afghanistan are raped in their workplaces, mosques, schools and places where you can’t even think of, and at home they live under domestic violence and abuse. There is no doubt that women all over the world have particular problems, of course, at home, work and universities, and we should all stand for each other. Because women are incredibly strong, they can handle every difficult condition in their life, so we should support each other more than yesterday and hopefully less than tomorrow. We needed to give sacrifices to have our rights, equality, and freedom to follow our dreams. Said Lailuma

Amina Lutumba Ndoy an African- Belgium, engaged herself in sports: figure skating, athletics, judo and Karate. After having finished her medical professional training, she decided to concentrate on the empowerment of women – especially in Africa and in Europe. As this is difficult to do alone, she looked for like-minded and her goals that self-sustaining women and created six organizations, and she is now the President of one company.

She says there may be a number of women with similar stories like me, but each have has particular pain, off course we are more and less the some situations. I have been searching for my identity since my childhood, and asking form myself; where is my Identity? And there are many others reasons. I was raised in a Belgian, a family that loved me, a wealth that captivated my heart, but my story is as simple but as painful as the story of a thousand women in this world. But there is still few questions to find the answers.

I became a mother at the age of 17 when I was young, my responsibility, my difficulties, society, judgment and the way others looked at me, all of this forged me. Today I know that I am one of the representatives of these young single mothers with the weight of society and its difficulties. My motto is help yourself, the good Lord and others will come afterwards and that is why I created my initiatives because helping others is also a contribution, it is repairing the wounds of society, a kind of therapy, Amina added

I know that in this world the meeting of unique people can be very life-changing. Thank you for reading my work and giving a young entrepreneur the chance to prove himself. This award is a spotlight that I intend to use, both for my personal development in my activities, but also to try to shine a profession of social entrepreneur that I have been practicing for a short time, but that already brings me a lot. I dedicate this award to my children, to the women of the world and to the wonderful people who surround me and whom I love with all my heart.she says that.

The first round of awards took place last year at the European Parliament in Brussels, this year’s program was similar and was marked by the participation of dozens of female personalities who shone in different fields around the world. However, it should be noted that the President of the European Parliament has decided, in accordance with the preventive measures announced against the Corona – Covid19 virus, to cancel all the pre-regulated programs of the European Parliament in Brussels. This led the organizers of the association to hold their activities at the German regional office, which is a charitable support center in Brussels.
