‘Lucha and Festa’, the answer to the ‘banana eaters’

Elections, Anita Likmeta:

(ANSA) – TRIESTE, 27 AUG – “Lucha and Festa”, fight and fun. This is the answer to the ‘banana eaters’ of Monteprato (Udine) of the men’s party a few weeks ago: the first feminist party of the Valleys begins today in Ponteacco di San Pietro (Udine).

To organize Lucha and Festa were Elena Tuan, a consultant specializing in Gender and Women Studies and Valentina Moro, promoters, among other things, of the petition asking for the cancellation of the ‘eaters’ competition.

“The controversy over the banana race has revealed the need to sensitize the territory on feminist thoughts and practices. We want to show that they are not weapons of war – widespread belief – but rather forms of treatment – commented Elena Tuan to Messaggero Veneto, today on newsstands – We were reproached for not knowing how to have fun and for not letting people party: it is not so. The point is instead that fun must not be in contrast with the various sensitivities. And this will be the message that will rise from Ponteacco “. The consultant explained the choice to organize the party in the Natisone Valleys in the fact that, “despite the growing number of occasions aimed at raising awareness among citizens on issues such as gender equality, social justice and intersectionality, talking about feminism in this area is still very difficult. We try. “

Lucha e Festa received the support of the administration of the capital of the valley.

The event will begin this afternoon with the workshop “Is desire political?”, Which will be followed by a vegetarian / vegan dinner, concert and DJ set. (HANDLE).
