16:30 Afropean women: from a double absence to a double presence?
In the presence of Eva Doumbia
Moderated by Ayokoh Mensah
The leading role of women in contemporary African societies as within diaspora communities in Europe has long been underestimated. Today, it is more and more recognized throughout the two continents. The creation of many transnational women’s associations and networks and the emergence of female figures in many sectors contribute to this recognition and growing visibility. Are Afropean women moving from a “double absence” - to use the expression of the well known sociologist Abdelmalek Sayad - to a double presence? How do they perceive their roles, their life trajectories, their fields of action and possibilities? What are the specific women’s aspects in the afropean experience? These questions will be addressed by different speakers during the debate.
Panelists: Joëlle Kapompolé (politicial leader), Eva Doumbia (director), Bobette Ngiedi Lelo (stylist and journalist), Leonora Miano (author).
