Ground because the differences between the Political Parties here involve very big if you judge for example between the c. S. U. Thats the Bavarian Sister Party of Angela Merkels c. D. U. Which stands rather on the right part of the political spectrum of the greens which sign on the left part of the political spectrum you have to somehow bridge those differences and the way in which theyre trying to bridge those differences is like trying to discuss a wide range of issues in fact there are twelve issues on the agenda and thats also the reason why these talks will take so long they already be saying here that they could take until christmas before a Coalition Agreement is reached one world in particular a contentious issue is how to deal with a million plus refugees that have come to germany or walk away expect. Well a lot of different opinions as a start and and here is where you can really see how how different the parties are on the one hand you have that agreement of the conservative bloc to try and have a goal to cap the number of refugees arriving to the country thats something that the greens have already said dont count us in if thats your plan theres another aspect as well the aspect of family reunification which divides the parties that are meeting here right behind me so those are issues that will probably take a long time but we also know already that those are the issues that they want to deal with the most difficult issues first and then try and find some of the issues where they can try and find more easily some Common Ground and there are also issues where they can find Common Ground digitalisation for example is one of them and while im going to merkel is working on those rather important domestic arrangements how does germany fulfill its king leadership role in europe while there is still a working government and thats something that we have to remember obviously Angela Merkels concentration here at home is to try and find that coalition but she still working abroad in all the issues that concern germany and those range from donald trump to brets it was you just spoke there right Thomas Sparrow thank you.

In one thousand twenty three after attending a feminist congress in europe she broke a taboo. Arriving at cairo station she cast off her veil in public and showed her face after the initial shock and disapproval a crowd of women spontaneously began to applaud. The heads of syria while the now lifting of her veil was symbolic the whole. To hit meant that a woman could escape her condition and become a woman with rights and duties which appear to want a woman with a real role in society who is even active and a militant all of the world knew that you. Founded the Egyptian Feminist Union she fought for womens material independence political and social equality with men and cooperation between arab and european feminists her actions sparked a Chain Reaction within egypt and far beyond its borders. In one thousand twenty four that unity and manu be aware tani removed her veil two followed in one thousand nine hundred nine by happy the men chary. Their battle against the veil and polygamy inspired other tunas in women actually for saddam who joined the union of women of genius year in the one nine hundred forty s. Or the lack of full of steam and our union of women meetings we defended repudiated women. We went from door to door we wanted to distribute pamphlets to women so they would come to our meetings. Nearest to me i hold off and the husband came out and told us to go back home we replied but were fighting against french colonialism the son he would say what are your the ones who are going to get rid of the french go on. Applique emma. The union of women have geneseo was established in one nine hundred forty four and was close to the communist party. That brought together activists from different communities french women engineers here as well as muslim or jewish women. They saw the fight for womens rights as part of another battle one that would lead to the liberation of a colony and all of its people. In one hundred fifty six to nazir. An independent. The first president of the team is in republic became an architect of womens liberation he instituted the code of personal status outlawing polygamy and repudiation establishing a judicial procedure for divorce and fixing the minimum age of marriage at seventeen. He took advantage of the moment of National Consensus after independence to enact the reforms even managing to sway the religious authorities of the time. Turned into law the ideas a spouse but unity and feminists starting with time out. He was convinced that his country could only become a modern state if women were emancipation. In a submerged gesture bookkeeper lifted the traditional veil and public. Although he did not establish complete equality this state feminism ten used with paternalism was to revolutionize the lives of genius in women. State schooling became free to all and the education the new on. Women and in the job market and does control became widely available also market unity apart in the arab world. The planning has a good mobility you will hear a lot of you guys would examine his assailant the whole show his whole jesus she would really have an opinion with her share on no particular state really or press dick good about us youre to dock area we got to yes my ass of animal that is a risk to me. Of ocean was made legal in nine hundred seventy three for. To new zealand women the appearance of a real state feminism in tunisia would remain and it was one of the most wanted i want us. To you know we do. Belong to you to be. Going to. Walk to the sheets had one and i think today its time to talk about these subjects about the body or woman and her relationship with her body about what. Was a very taboo subjects affected. Here and i think that our bodies dont belong to us just said no machine is going up in little thought to be not all through our upbringing were told how to dress. Really lucky for us to live social were told how to live our sexuality and you know. But and religion gets mixed up in it. Were told whats allowed and whats forbidden. To live. Yes. Larry. Larry. Weve had threats and insults. Some people have called for my moroccan citizenship to be taken away. And others say we should get psychiatric treatment. Others even say these young wonderful actresses should be condemned to death. But in a society like ours which is conservative and schizo phrenic these kinds of reactions are inevitable. And they only encourage us to continue our work. With the. Thirteen a young actor best eighteen year old. Published a topless photo of herself on facebook it was a provocative act which divided the country. With womens dignity shes lower than we value women and she diminishes she takes her clothes off even just a cat will hide when it does its business and what does she do. So. In short the reaction i mean a roast reveals something that to me seems fundamental. Thats really what the feminists of the arab world fight about rights jurisdiction. Nomic issues like speaking about the body is extremely difficult. Sort of going to six there are taboo subjects in those are the body and sex. So it gets changed and if we dont talk about the body in sex well never talk about the heart of the woman question its going to feel what did i mena do that in a way she pulverized the taboo. And on her breast she wrote something extremely interesting my body belongs to me and is not the source of anyones honor the home but the drama of societies that are preoccupied by custom because it goes well beyond religion. Sometimes in a way we make islam responsible for sins it hasnt committed. The fed but the fact that womens bodies are effectively the source of mens honor is a tragedy for women in this part of the world. While something is in feminists have distanced themselves from i mean as act others see it as a turning point for their callings. I mean i see i mean she just let me know belongs to a new generation of feminists that can give a lot to the political scene and help womens rights evolve in tunisia. And i say to the previous generation of feminist dont close the door leave the dialogue open between the generations as you know we must get weaker and become divided by amount of the misuse just like that. Its a new generation that doesnt hesitate to defy authority and make that now and using social media. This is a video of the gyptian metal band massive scar era the music has been condemned by Islamist Groups and called satanic for much of its existence the group has been all female at the outset they just wanted to play music and werent interested in feminism. Despite this just being women in the public eye has itself become a political act. I wanted to start a group and my family said i couldnt possibly do that with boys so to be able to play i started a girl group again but i dont consider myself a particularly feminist. Feminist but you are a feminist. Shes feminist in her attitude her way of comprehending problem is to not talk. In the secular when there are obstacles i face up to them i think if i dont confront them i wouldnt be able to move on this if i am this and then i do not think id go nowhere and said i think its. Not far from Tahrir Square in cairo murals tell the story of the egyptian revolution especially the attacks on the women who came to demonstrate in the name of freedom. The full of dictators during the arab spring the freed womens voices but also unleashed violence against them. Just on the father simply woman question is the question that really lets us comprehend what liberty is the notion of liberty contains the idea of freedom and equality if we dont have both at the same time we have nothing feminism is a political idea we cannot think of feminism without Political Freedom freedom of opinion. Leaves. How can you have a true democracy without all citizens having the same rights its impossible set up was impossible so indeed. Democracy raises the question of equality that its already getting. And the uprisings in the arab world have not brought about further quality the one glimmer of hope in a feminist struggle in tunisia in january two thousand and fourteen the constituent assembly confirmed the rights acquired by women in one nine hundred fifty six despite pressure from islamists who wanted to roll them back the success was mainly due to the mobilization of Civil Society and the existence of a robust feminist movement and other arab countries to women continue to fight for their rights.
