This time in the Sunday newspaperthe President of the Metropolis and the Mayor of Lyon are tackling gender equality in the territories.
With 46 elected officials, including the PS mayor of Villeurbanne Cédric Van Styvendael or that of Grenoble Eric Piolle, they respond to the call of the NGO Oxfam France which calls for an emergency plan on the question.
“In many areas, much remains to be done to advance women’s rights in the territories: increase accommodation places and improve care for women victims of violence, create a real public service for early childhood so that motherhood is no longer a source of professional inequality, invest in raising awareness from an early age about a culture of equality, promote the participation of women in public life, guarantee all women access to sexual health reproductive health, including voluntary termination of pregnancy”write the elected representatives of the left.
Ahead of March 8, 48 of us were elected to sign a forum in the @leJDD for gender equality. The great cause of the quinquennium can become a reality if the communities and the State work more strongly together for the rights of women. 👇 pic.twitter.com/PtLZAdEoKO

Lyon environmentalists say they need to be given “the means of action”. “Equality between women and men ‘great cause of the quinquennium’ will never be a reality if communities do not have the means to implement key policies for women’s rights. This is why we are asking for a plan of urgent funding dedicated to gender equality in the territories. Today, we reaffirm our desire to make gender equality a priority of our action. Our territories are and will remain feminist territories!”they conclude, two days before March 8, International Women’s Rights Day.
