سوريا: هل تستحق قضايا الأسرة محكمة خاصة بها؟

لعل الصياغة الإنشائية في هذا المشروع نجت أكثر قليلاً من سابقتيها من الاستدرار العاطفي. لكنها أبدت تخوفاً من الخوض في قانون الأحوال الشخصية غير مبرر، إذ تقول :  إن "تعديل بعض أحكام قانون الأحوال الشخصية لا يعود كما يحلو للبعض أن يفسره لرغبة المنظمات النسائية بالخروج عن أحكام الشريعة، وإنما البحث عن حلول ضمن مظلة الشريعة ذاتها"!.

Dossier 28: Analyses de la laïcité

Depuis plus de deux décennies, les féministes débattent de l’impact et de la mécanique des forces politico-religieuses de l’extrême droite et se concertent sur les stratégies de résistance contre les fondamentalismes. Toutefois, en tant que féministes, nous n’avons pas encore développé une analyse cohérente des alternatives concrètes.

Dossier 29: Human Rights & Gender Equality

In addition to the work of multi-national institutions, the theory is that national gender machinery can play an important role in the struggle to protect and promote women’s rights. Catherine Albertyn argues that national machinery for the advancement of women “… consists of structures, mechanisms, and strategies for achieving equality for women as participants, decision makers and beneficiaries in the political, social, economic and cultural spheres of life.”

Dossier 28: Secularisms

For more than two decades, feminists have discussed the impact and mechanics of extreme right politico-religious forces and shared strategies of resistance against fundamentalisms. But, as feminists, we have yet to develop a coherent analysis of the concrete alternatives. Yet we need such an analysis in order to move beyond resistance and be more pro-active in our advocacy for an alternative vision of society.

Dossier 27: Les minorités musulmanes

Depuis quelques années, la codification du droit musulman de la personne (DMP) dans les milieux minoritaires préoccupe de plus en plus les militantes du réseau Femmes Sous Lois Musulmanes, du Bénin jusqu’aux Philippines et de l’Afrique du Sud jusqu’au Canada.

Dossier 27: Muslim Minorities

In some contexts, such as Sri Lanka, women from the minority have been demanding positive reform in the existing separate legal system that is binding upon Muslims and in the Philippines an entire alternative Code has been drafted; in Israel, Arab women’s groups have focused on demanding access to the State Family Court, rather than reforming the Shari’a Courts).

Dossier 26: Des politiques d’identité

Tandis que de plus en plus de mouvements politiques de droite - y compris les mouvements fondamentalistes qui affectent le plus la vie des femmes, nous contraignent et nous enferment dans une identité unique, nous luttons pour réclamer nos identités multiples, concomitantes, et non antagonistes: genre, classe, ethnicité, race, religion, culture, etc.

Dossier 26: Identity Politics

This volume seeks to address issues of concern to women in Muslim countries and communities around the concepts of identity, politics, movements, and alliances. Crucial to identity politics is the fraught question of alliances: all the articles, ultimately, address this question.
