Paroles d'Algériennes

Quelques extraits du parcours des femmes algériennes:

This last video, I watched it a long time ago and she's a shame to be honnest, what evolution (right of walking around half dressed I'd say) does she want? it's true some guys are wild and it can be really annoying but she can't expect not to get anything being dressed like this, it's Algeria not Europe. Ah people...

Je te répondrai quand j'aurai plus d'énergie.

Well, that's your opinion. I think she has every right ... before being buried 2 meters under. She is alive. She wants to walk free without being continually harrassed by men who don't behave properly.

I've posted these videos so everyone (esp Western women) can see where we are coming from ... so that they could see the fragility of women's rights in Algeria and the TINY bits of "freedom" we have gained.

And I'm not through, I'd like to post IN ENGLISH "le code de l'infâmie" as it is named in Algeria.

Yallah, yallah, even men don't have rights, what can women expect?
The thing is that in our societies, women always get somehow the worse yes, remember (I don't know if this is still going on) but as far as I know, in cases of divorce, women were being literally be put at the door. And if a woman married a non-Algerian man, he wasn't able to get the Algerian citizenship until they decided to modify the law in 2005, ya3ni the Algerian citizenship kant kima l Amrikiya (had the same value as gold?) wla wesh? LOL

Les porteuses de feu

En 1957 à Alger, une cinquantaine de femmes, âgées de seize à vingt ans, sont engagées dans la guérilla urbaine menée par le FLN contre le colonialisme français. À la fois fragiles et cruelles, ces femmes que nous appellerons « les porteuses de feu » sont devenues les figures emblématiques de l’épisode le plus meurtrier de la Guerre d’Indépendance : « La Bataille d’Alger ».
Certaines, surnommées « femmes Beretta » participent à des attentats à l’arme de poing d’autres posent des bombes. Parmi elles, une « Bombiste », et pionnière des services secrets algériens.
Ces jeunes révolutionnaires sont fichées comme terroristes par les autorités coloniales et traquées sans merci. Quelques-unes d'entres elles sont tuées dans leur action, d'autres sont arrêtées et torturées avant d'être jugées et condamnées à de lourdes peines de prison.
Le temoignage inédit de Louiza, Fadila, Fattouma et Zohra, témoigne de l'engagement des femmes dans la guérilla urbaine qui a ensanglanté Alger. Une tragédie terrifiante qui affecte encore, cinquante ans après, les relations entre la France et l'Algérie.
