Dans cet épisode, Françoise Moudouthe partage sa vision d’un féminisme profondément enraciné dans les réalités vécues des femmes africaines. Elle revient sur les défis d’accès aux ressources pour les organisations féministes, les limites des politiques étrangères dites féministes, et l’importance de la sororité comme moteur d’action collective. Elle souligne surtout l’écart entre les récits vécus des femmes et les politiques censées répondre à leurs besoins. Un échange qui interroge les leviers à mobiliser pour une action plus cohérente, inclusive et ancrée dans les réalités du continent.
