Equality, at different levels, including the professional sphere, is fashionable in France at the moment. But when you look at the so-called care and domestic work, you see that women perform more than three quarters of these tasks. This is one area of resistance where we must break down the barriers so that the situation truly changes. One of the themes in my teaching aimed at developing awareness among my students concerning women/men inequalities. The European Union, where I took on a role as an expert in social sciences, was instrumental in relaying and supporting programs in favour of equality. They provided us with funding that allowed us to act. And that, in turn, gave a boost to gender studies in different disciplines. While I remain critical about the somewhat formal dimension of this work, I nevertheless believe that it is a factor of very favourable exchanges. |
