Télédebout, feminism image for all ages
Our association has twenty volunteers and one part-time employee.
My Experience
I met so many women in the feminist movement and they are very helpful. And my studies librarian and film are very useful too. It's very difficult to find enough money to pay for everything, this project has more to do with militancy and I find it difficult to give it some economic viability. It is not easy for me to "sell" a benefit, especially when worn by a sense of social transformation, a response to a need for education.
Feminist models have inspired me. I built our association around writings, films on feminism. Various encounters with women activists gave me confidence for the project
