  • Human Rights of Women Wearing the Veil in Western Europe
    Human Rights of Women Wearing the Veil in Western Europe Research Paper I. Introduction The present paper analyses legislation, policies, and case-law surrounding religious attire in a number of countries in Western Europe and how they affect the human rights of women and girls who wear the veil in Western Europe. It also more broadly analyses discrimination and violence experienced by women wearing the veil in Europe learning from their own voice. Throughout the paper, the terminology ‘veil’ is used to refer to a variety of religious attire worn mostly, but not exclusively, by Muslim women. There are different types of clothing that cover the body. This research is focused on manifestations of veils that are the subject of regulation in several Western European Countries. They include the hijab (a piece of clothing that covers the head and neck, but not the face), niqab (a piece of clothing that covers the face, where only the eyes are visible), burqa (a piece of clothing that covers both the face and eyes), jilbab (a loose piece of clothing that covers the body from head to toe), or abaya, kaftan, kebaya (a loose, often black, full body cover overcoat). The head and body covers are often combined. In several countries, some of these clothing are based on traditional costumes rather than religion and are often worn by rural communities in the countries of origins. The paper also uses the terminology ‘full-face veil’ or ‘face-covering veil’ to refer to both niqab and burqa. Furthermore, it refers to burkini, a swimsuit that covers the body from head to ankles, completed by a dress.

    Consultez le site National des Associations Seniors de la Banque : https://asv.bnpparibasfortis.be Revue n° 33 - Avril 2021 Chères amies, chers amis, J’espère que ce message vous trouvera en bonne santé. Difficile de parler d’autres choses que de ce fichu virus omniprésent dans nos vies ! Un an déjà que nous avons dû annuler toutes les activités qui étaient prévues en 2020 et au premier semestre 2021. Un an de privations, de limitations de liberté. C’était certainement nécessaire, mais c’est long, très long ! Le temps est venu de parler d’espoir. La campagne de vaccination a commencé et d’après les prévisions, les seniors devraient être vaccinés d’ici l’été 2021. Nous pourrions alors sereinement recevoir plus d’un invité à domicile, retourner au théâtre, au cinéma et reprendre nos activités de groupe. Soyons positifs ! Voyez à ce propos notre programme à partir de fin juin 2021. Ce sont malheureusement des prévisions qui pourraient encore être adaptées en fonction de l’évolution de la pandémie. Continuez à bien vous protéger. Bien amicalement. Armand Vervoort Président sommaire . Edito page 1 - Quelques chiffres de l’Association pages 2 à 4 . Un peu d’humour pages 4 à 6 .

  • L'enseignement Officiel En Brabant Wallon
    L’Enseignement officiel en Brabant wallon Répertoire des établissements d’enseignement officiel organisés par les communes, la Province du Brabant wallon et la Fédération Wallonie Bruxelles Educ Brabant wallon, ASBL, est la régionale de la Ligue de l’Enseignement et de l’Education permanente. La LEEP est une organisation générale d’éducation permanente qui assure la promotion de l’Ecole publique et la formation des jeunes et des adultes en vue de favoriser la participation responsable à la vie démocratique de la société. introduCtion L’élaboration de ce répertoire a pour objectif de rappeler les valeurs promues par l’Enseignement officiel, renforcer la connaissance réciproque des établissements de l’Enseignement officiel et témoigner du souci de qualité qui anime en permanence les acteurs. L’Enseignement officiel est organisé par les Communes, les Provinces et la Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles. Vous trouverez donc dans ce répertoire toutes les écoles maternelles, primaires, secondaires, supérieures et de promotion sociale officielles. Les écoles maternelles et primaires, celles que l’on appelle aussi fondamentales, ont été classées dans l’ordre numérique des codes postaux des communes. Nous pensons que, de ce fait, il est plus aisé de rechercher une école maternelle et/ou primaire dans une zone bien déterminée. Toutefois, pour éventuellement faciliter une recherche par nom de commune, une liste des codes postaux attribués aux communes se trouve en page 42. Quant aux écoles secondaires ou supérieures, elles sont également classées par ordre numérique des codes postaux. Pour toutes les institutions, vous pourrez trouver les adresses postales, les numéros de téléphone et les adresses e-mail.

  • Learning from Women's Movements to Develop Intersectional Policy
    Policy Briefs 2019 Moana Genevey Learning from women’s movements to develop intersectional policy-making and inclusive policies: the Belgian Women’s Strike Supported by Table Of Contents 3 Executive summary 4 Introduction 5 Case study: the Belgian Women’s Strike 5 A movement promoting intersectional claims 6 A movement based on an intersectional functioning 7 Problem description 9 Conclusion and policy recommendations 10 References Learning from women’s movements to develop intersectional policy-making and inclusive policies: the Belgian Women’s Strike Moana Genevey EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This policy brief aims to explore ways to operationalise the concept of intersectionality in poli- cy-making in Europe. It takes into consideration the lessons brought by women’s movements in the world, and in particular in Belgium. The Belgian Women’s Strike drafted a set of policy claims which focuses on the needs and experience of the most vulnerable and marginalised women in Belgium. This recent movement also developed an intersectional approach to organise the strike, with dedicated mecha- nisms tasked to ensure the operationalisation of intersectionality in all its activities. While there is an increased attention given by policy-makers to the concept of intersectionality, they still face structural barriers to put it into practice. The scarcity of disaggregated data, insufficient participation of marginalised people in policy-making and the absence of effective mechanisms to operationalise intersectionality are strong obstacles to achieve intersectionality in policy-making. The recommendation for policy-makers are centered first on increasing the visibility of margin- alised people, through data collection and the use of inclusive language.
