Houriat intervention Bouteldja * at the IV International Congress of Islamic Feminism
Related primarily to thank the Catalan third world feminism Islamic Committee for organizing this symposium, third world feminism which is a real breath of fresh air in a secluded and troubled Europe xenophobic debate, rejecting increasingly more otherness.
I hope this initiative can take place in France. Before going into the chase, I want to introduce myself, because, in my opinion, any statement of position must always be contextualized.
I live in France and is the daughter of Algerian immigrants. My father was a laborer and his mother a housewife. Not speak here as a sociologist, researcher or teoloagă. In other words, not as an expert. I am an activist, and my position is based on the experience of activism, politics and, I would add, personal experience. Doing all these details because I would like my attempt to be as honest as possible. And to be honest, I never thought about this event in terms of the issues raised by Islamic feminism. So, why attend this seminar? When I was asked, I said clearly that I am not qualified in any way to talk about Islamic feminism, but I could make some clarifications on the concept of feminism third world feminism decolonial, third world feminism an idea which, in my view, must be integrated into the general framework of Islamic feminism. For this reason, I propose to ask some questions that may be useful to our debate.
It is universal feminism? What is the relationship between feminist white / western and third world feminism, including Islamic ones? Is Islam compatible with feminism? third world feminism And if so, how legitimate and ultimately, that could be its priorities? third world feminism
For me, this is the most important question, since there is an initiative which aims decolonializarea decolonialistă feminism. This question is crucial, not so much the answer I can give, but the fact that we oblige us who live in the West, to take necessary precautions when dealing third world feminism with corporations others. Take the example called Western societies, which supported the emergence of feminist movements that are influenced by them.
Women who fought third world feminism against patriarchy and equal dignity of women and men have obtained rights that led to a change in the condition of women to benefit myself. Compare the situation of these women, third world feminism all ours and those of the companies considered "primitive" in Amazonia, for example. There are here and there, protected from the influence of Western society. Brackets specify that no society consider third world feminism to be primitive. I believe that there are various locations / times on our planet, different temporality, that no civilization is more advanced or backward third world feminism than others, that I place on a scale of progress and that progress does not consider an end in itself or a horizon political.
Or in other words, do not believe that progress necessarily mean progress, even sometimes or often mean regression. And I think that the problem applies equally decolonială perception we have of time. I closed parenthesis.
To return to the point, if we were to take the criterion of "welfare" in this room who would argue that women in these companies (who do not know the concept of feminism, as we see it) are more unfortunate than European women who not only participated in this battle, but they also helped the company to benefit from their invaluable third world feminism successes?
For my part, I can not answer that question, and Blessed will be that or that will be able to find an answer. But, again, the answer is not important. But the question! For this we require more modesty and Harness our imperialistic tendencies and interventionist reflexes. Requires us not to look at their own rules as universal and do not apply their reality the reality of others. In short, obliges us to place ourselves in their own specificities.
This question is clarified, I feel free to address the second question on the relationship between Western feminism and third world feminism. These are undoubtedly complex, but one of their dimensions is domination north / south. Decolonialistă approach must call into question the relationship and try to reverse it. Here's an example:
In 2007, women members of the Indigenous Movement of the Republic (République Mouvement des Indigènes of them) attended the annual march on the fight women. At that time the United States had already third world feminism begun campaign against Iran. We decided to march with banners watchword was "no feminism
