deconstructing gender binarity

deconstructing gender binarity

 

Gender inclusive language, inclusive language, non-binary forms, gender inclusive… Surely you have heard of this at some point. The truth is that it can be called many things in different linguistic communities, but it always produces some controversy. What really is “inclusive language”? During this workshop gathering representatives of all the women’s associations in Luxembourg, the insights and recommendations of all CNFL members will be assembled into a preliminary document for future discussions on inclusive training and a concept of gender equality, in alignment with the Ministry’s approach.

Dinner – Conference – Discussion on the occasion of International Women’s Day

Dinner – Conference – Discussion on the occasion of International Women’s Day

On the Eve of International Women’s Day 2025, we invite you to an evening of discussion and reflection on the major societal issue of Sexual and Psychological Harassment.

We are honored to welcome Nathalie Erin, a member of the collective Poésie Masculine / 5 Minutes in My Shoes, who will speak about the mechanisms of harassment and the awareness of its impact on women.

The collective is a space for reflection and artistic expression that questions representations of masculinity in our societies. Through poetry and literature, it explores the many facets of masculinity, deconstructing stereotypes and shedding light on gender relations issues.

Nathalie actively participates in the dialogue on gender-based violence and will analyze with us the dynamics of power, mechanisms of oppression, and the consequences of harassment on women and society. She offers a fresh perspective on male role models. Her approach, both analytical and deeply moving, combines reflection with powerful testimonies, providing keys to understanding and taking action.

Through her work, Nathalie Erin has established herself as a key figure in the fight for a fairer and more equal society.

The evening of Friday, March 7, is far from insignificant: we will gather for our “Women of Strength and Heart” dinner to discuss a pressing global issue—sexual and psychological harassment.

This event will be an opportunity to raise awareness, share experiences, and strengthen our collective commitment against these forms of violence. It will also allow us to connect with our fellow members of Féminin Pluriel.

Nathalie Erin is a board member of Féminin Pluriel Montpellier Méditerranée and will be accompanied by some FPMM members.

We look forward to welcoming many of you to stand together for this important cause.

Lunch followed by a private tour of the exhibition: “Who’s Next? Homelessness, Architecture, and Cities?”

The exhibition Who’s Next, created by the Architekturmuseum der Technischen Universität München (Pinakothek der Moderne), presents a wide range of architectural approaches to addressing the phenomenon of homelessness.

Homelessness has been increasing in slightly larger cities. In the 1970s and 1980s, one could observe “traditional vagabonds” in certain isolated areas. They were, in a way, familiar figures whose stories were known by many. This situation drastically changed with the spread of drugs. The line between drug users and the homeless became blurred. At the same time, with the opening of borders, begging became more widespread. Homelessness grew in scale and became more visible.

We are facing a problem that will persist and needs to be better understood, especially as we deal with multiple types of homelessness and equally varied motivations.

This exhibition, shown in Munich, Hamburg, and Bolzano, consists of panels, videos, and models illustrating a series of examples from cities outside Europe, case studies within Europe, and concludes with a perspective on Luxembourg. International examples—Los Angeles, São Paulo, Hong Kong, and Munich—highlighted in the exhibition, aim to encourage reflection on potential solutions.

Rejecting radical exclusion and instead fostering a nuanced understanding of the phenomenon is one of the exhibition’s goals. It calls for rethinking our approach.
