Together

As a feminist, I strongly believe in the equality of all gender to strive for a progressive labour market and future in general. Until this point we should have realized, that the only way to achieve more is to include the spectrum of gender. Since mainstream feminism is critically discussed on social media, I reinforce you to also look at the fundamental theory that drives this movement. It’s about equality, obviously. It’s about integrity of white women, women of color, women of lower social class and above as well. By internalizing that, we come together to intersectionality. Intersectional feminism spots, that every form of discrimination overlaps with gender, race, religion, wealth etc. That is why we can try to understand each other and show solidarity but will never be capable to speak for experienced sexism by others. A black woman experiences a different form of sexism as a white woman does. Only by assimilating intersectionality we will be able to embody a progressive and successful European Union.

Did we adapt the social movement and ideology of feminism in EU?It is 2018,and women havent reached the plateau of their equality with the opposite gender.This is a fact,altough women have the same opportunity for education,work,the right to vote and be voted,there isnt a big change about how women get treated on a daily basis and in their lifes.With the cultural diversity that exists in the EU,there are still countries,that they didnt really establish a social and personal equality of sexes.We may have the same rights and responsibilities, but the patriarchal society hasnt faded yet.Women often get treated like they are belongings or become victims of abuse.Why does this situation still exists?The answer is simple.Our lives are programmed and designed to make both men and women feel that they belong to a separated team,even from early age.There are many stereotypes that they are destroying the movement of feminism.For example,blue coloured clothes for boys,pink for girls.Swords,pistols for the first,kitchen stuff and baby dolls for the second.We dont realise that the gender diversity still exists without noticing.Gandhi said that we should respect and treat women as equal,because if we have half of the population seperated,we are not a team.The EU has to keep its people united,not seperated,no matter their sex.So we should start thinking like him,feel as a team,and have respect for our teammates.

Women’s rights are treated as a very vague matter, but there is no emphasis on certain aspects that send to respect the full extent of this right or at least some of the rights we can actually effectively enjoy. In same states, the legislation is very vague and even permissive regarding the violation of women’s rights, wich we are witnessing day by day. I am referring here, especially to the criminal legislation that I can say “encourages” attitudes such as the physical and phsyological harm of many women. Every day, more than two women are killed in the beating of their own husbands , concubines and so on, and legislation is very permissive in this aspect. in addition to the fact, that the women who are subject to these problems, they see themselves constrained to leave their home because they can no longer resist the physical, mental, economic and social harassment to which they are exposed by those who should protect them. i think that the legislation in this field needs to be changed from the ground, especially in some states where there is a mentality such as: “The beating is broken out of heaven!”. Facts should be severely punished in order to be aware of the severity the acts they commit over the woman with whom they cohabit and who have serious consequences even on the children. The phenomenon of domestic violence proliferates every day and, as far as legislation is a concerned, nothing improves, so the victims of these abuses are overcome by the situation. Besides this, the casual chain of these acts and crimes of a criminal nature are also reflected in the society accustomed to us with the resignation that “goes so!”. That’s why more and more women silence and endure the hard to imagine torture these days…
