A-Infos (en) France, Monde Libertaire - February 2026 Program of the show Femmes Libres (Free Women) (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

The show Femmes Libres is a space for reflection and study of the 
specific oppression of women in a patriarchal and capitalist society 
founded on male domination. This space highlights the strategies of 
defense, denunciation, and reconstruction implemented by feminist 
movements, in light of the analysis of social relations of sex, gender, 
class, and origin. Each episode typically includes three parts: guests; 
activist news: meetings, conferences, publications, films, exhibitions, 
etc.; and segments that vary each week: Open Forum, From Eve to 
Philomène, and others. The program is broadcast monthly throughout the 
feminist network. It is often featured in publications, such as those of 
the Ruptures network or on the efigies.org mailing list, in Télérama, 
and also on the website https://www.monde-libertaire.fr/ ---- Recordings 
of the programs are available at: http://emission-femmeslibres.blogspot.com/

* From Eve to Philomène, not forgetting the others: Anacaona (1474-1504) 
was a Taíno chief and poet, the "Golden Flower" of Ayiti. A political 
leader and artistic genius, her leadership defied the patriarchy and 
brutality of the Spanish colonists. A powerful woman, an eternal icon of 
Caribbean feminist and decolonial resistance.

* Jean-Manuel Traimond presents Bible and Sex, a publication from 
Éditions du Monde Libertaire. Two thousand years it's been going on! Two 
thousand years that supposedly virgin goths in drag have been telling us 
how to use our genitals. With a barrage of guilt-inducing anathemas, 
prohibitions, moralizing, and threats of eternal damnation, they have 
taken over Western sexuality, elevating their masochistic obsessions to 
dogma, their homophobia to divine commandment, and their terror of women 
to a social norm, legitimizing massacres, burnings at the stake, and so, 
so much misery.

* Accords and Cris #17: Brussels: Christmas Punks. Every year, Brussels 
anarcho-punk René Binamé organizes his Christmas party, a wild and punk 
affair. This year, he invited Habenmeuf: a four-piece post-riot grrrl 
band from Liège, with politically charged and humorous lyrics. "Girls 
who do stuff, full of love and anger," they say when asked to introduce 
themselves.

* Camille Schmoll: The Damned of the Sea, La Découverte, 2025 reissue. 
For a long time, women were absent from the grand narrative of 
migration. Yet many leave their homes and loved ones to undertake the 
long journey across the desert and the Mediterranean. Based on extensive 
research conducted in Italy and Malta, this book is an investigation 
into the lives of survivors. A remarkable immersion into their daily 
lives in reception centers where their journey is suspended, awaiting 
recognition from a Europe that often rejects them. But these women are 
also resilient and strategic, searching for escape routes.

* Opinion piece: Surrogacy: its excesses. Could it have been otherwise?

* Ariane Mestre: Children's book Here. An ode to the city and to life, 
this book reveals the many facets of an imaginary urban neighborhood. 
Populated with humans and animals crossing paths on a street corner, in 
a park, or in a candy store, it's a celebration of respect for others 
and the environment, of individuality, of diversity, of enjoying good 
food at any age, and of public transportation! Welcome HERE!

* Poetic Opus:

* Jikaëlle loves simple words and ethereal melodies. She writes, 
composes, and sings. Without pretense, she uses her vulnerabilities to 
create strengths and expresses profound feelings with subtlety and 
lightness. She offers us a moment of song and music. In 2023, two EPs: 
Fragile and Sur un fil, and in 2025, the single À travers.

8:30 pm, during the musical breaks.
