France: Demonstrations during the
visit of the pope XVI
The March and other diverse French feminist organisations are organising a
large demonstration in reaction to the official meeting between pope Bento XVI
and the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, that will take place between 12th –
14th September. The mobilisation will take place on 12th September, at 6pm
in Paris, in front of the Filles du Calvaire metro station, and will denounce
the conservative attack against the separation Church-State and against rights
won due to decades of feminist struggle. The French coordination of the World
March of Women reaffirms its support of a secular state and its rejection of a
fundamentalist and reactionary pope, particularly in relation to women’s
rights.

for participation in the demonstration and the WMW press release (both, only in French).
