We dedicate this 3rd issue of our Newsletter for the year 2024 and the 25th since the Russian aggression against Ukraine in memory of Alexander Navalny, who died on February 16, 2024 after a murderous relentlessness of Russian President Vladimir Putin to which he opposed since 2011. In an interview with the New York Times, he assessed his chances of survival at 50%; he had mental strength and courage, only his body let go.
March 8 is International Women’s Day; November 25 is dedicated to the Day of Violence Against Women. In 2024, many women are still victims of violence, in peacetime but especially during armed conflicts or terrorist attacks. Sexual violence against women is part of a very elaborate strategy to terrorize and humiliate not only women but their families and their entire community; we will talk about their actuality thirty years after the war in former Yugoslavia. In another point, we will talk about the role of women in Russia, spur and bad conscience for the Russian army. In a next point, we will present the commitment of Ukrainian women, again exemplary at the front, and the abuses committed in the back by Russian troops. In conclusion we will ask ourselves: if woman is the future of man, is she also for all women?
