SUMMARY:Rokhaya Diallo: on Racism\, French Elections and the Far Right
DTSTAMP:20261015T004813Z
DTSTART:20261127T193000Z
DESCRIPTION:As France heads to the polls\, with Marine Le Pen’s far-right p
	arty emerging as a\nmajor political force\, we speak to French journalist\
	, writer and documentary\nfilmmaker Rokhaya Diallo about feminism\, racism
	 and the fight for equality.\n\nRokhaya Diallo is one of France’s most pro
	minent anti-racist voices. As a\njournalist and activist\, she has spent y
	ears calling out racism in a country\nthat rather looks away from the topi
	c of race and struggles to confront its\ncolonial past (a comparison with 
	the Netherlands is not hard to draw).\n\nShe sharply exposes France’s myth
	 of universalism and is highly critical of the\nconcept of laïcité\, Franc
	e’s particular form of secularism that promotes\ncolour-blindness. Diallo 
	is also a leading feminist voice\, arguing that\nanti-racism and feminism 
	are inseparable: “You can’t be a feminist without also\nactively addressin
	g racism.”\n\nAhead of the French elections in April\, we talk about the f
	ight against racism\nand the struggle for gender equality at a time when t
	he far right has become an\nestablished force in European politics. What h
	appens when conservative ideas\nabout women begin to take hold in our soci
	ety? And what does it mean to fight\nfor equality when the political lands
	cape is shifting to the right?
