By our inaction as well as by our actions

Define, identify, suggest responsibility: it could be a subject of philosophy. It is the theme of the first session of the Forum. With, specifically, Monique Canto-Sperber, Director of the Ecole normale supérieure, to open fire. There are worldwide, recalls to at the outset, and what we transform. By our inaction as well as by our actions. The philosopher, however, cautions against what it calls "the hyperbolic responsibility", other side of the if common illusion of omnipotence it can lead us to auto-imputer us all what does not work in this lower world, the small daily jamming as a planetary disaster. Room follows the progression of his analysis in a studious silence. And happy. It is true that with Monique CantoSperber the philo smiles. Even at 10 o'clock in the morning. The dictatorship of the performance and perfection, she responds by a third perf': an infusion of reflection. Phew! Here we are issued from the dictatorship of our super-ego, the tyrant blowing us constantly that there is certainly something that we have poorly done, that we have not done. What récré! The forum starts well...

Sisters of Rwanda on the Malaysia

I listen to Esther Mujawayo. It has lost almost all his family in the massacres in Rwanda. She feels happy: it has saved his children. Shivering in the room, while she goes: "to survive, we widows, we tightly to each other, we talked about." Hours, days, nights. To not become crazy. A spontaneous, instinctive movement. It was only well after we knew that it was a therapy...

Esther, has since become psychotherapist. In the hearing, I immediately make link with Zainah Anwar, listened at lunch. She is a lawyer in Malaysia; She founded the movement: Sisters in Islam, fighting against the ravages of Islamic fundamentalism: "men who misinterpret the Koran, says - it.". They impose it women and give the force of law. 90 of what they say is false. So we decided to form the reading of the Koran women so they can argue in public space and say "No, this is not in the Koran". Here, we demonstrate that islam can go hand in hand with democracy, justice and human rights. "The floor as a tool of survival, the link as an instrument of resistance: specificities of the struggle of women. With a flat, in the mouth of the Southern women who feel those of the North still too cluttered with prejudice. Zainah said: "I fight against the kind comments:"your fight is formidable, but in fact, you are really Muslim".

These gentlemen by atmosphere

Far by far, the detour of a corridor in a corner of the room, here is a man. His full jacket with grey stripes is a true of true, and not the armor of a woman executive; his greying and EBP, neck of a male in good and due form, not the minimalist hairstyle of such American ready for permanent hurricane of the Nasdaq. It is mainly during breaks it is interesting to observe these gentlemen. Waiting for the next session, while a "easy listening" music ennoie room melody, sweet and that women comment and build contacts, they bite nose in their records. They concern me, these birds shut-ins.

I continue to drag the eye; and a miracle, they are removed to turn the atmosphere of the Forum. They go here there, quietly, sucked as all the world by the spontaneity fluid exchanges. There are more! By what mystery Hypothesis: the contagion of the phenomenal success won by Erik Orsenna in the "Discovery Corner", where he was invited to speak of his "journey of cotton". In the eye during a few brief seconds I had well captured as a concern about these tens of women of influence which heightened. But immediately, Erik before that he had not fallen in a Congress of pétroleuses. Just in a meeting of women who, among their responsibilities, entered the compelling need to understand and listen to "the other tribe." Better is to enforce. Better to make love. And ultimately, better love it...

Pure jewels gleaned from behind the scenes

I love traînailler behind the scenes of the Forum. Relax. One is there feels so free. And exchanges are so easy: here, more stowage in social status in the hierarchy, to the position of power. Complicity is, to at the outset. The explanation No idea, I prefer to continue me delight. Yes, do not have fear of words; These small sketches I've experienced random corridors, I will keep them in me as pure gems. Thus, this Italian at trac, just give a Moroccan admiration for combat that it leads to integrate single mothers in the company of his country. Upset, she responded: "Thank you, it makes me so well." Currently I passes through such a period of fatigue and doubt... ""Come, said the other, there is very close to here a stunning Chinese who will speak, she was born in a society without father or husband, and she..." "Two women, one hour in, listen with the same passion the beautiful Namu evoke the strange and distant world where she grew up. And there, new effect chain: Namu is so enthusiastic by the listening and the questions of the participants in how to gift she starts singing. Sublime, as it does that there, on the side of his natal Lugu Lake. You would have seen it in a convention of men, you

But the most beautiful of my nuggets is, at the end of an Exchange with the writer of Turkish origin Hesna Cailliau, an Armenian woman who rises and comes to her: "I never wanted approaching a Turkish of my life." But your hand to you, I want the shake.
