Le carnaval se poursuit ce mardi (13 février 2024) en Haïti, dans un contexte de violence extrême. Les gangs continuent de s'affronter au nord de Port-au-Prince et provoquent la terreur de la population. Forte présence policière à Port-au-Prince pour le carnaval… plombé par les troubles qui secouent Haïti. Depuis des semaines, la violence des gangs redouble d'intensité, forçant des milliers de personnes à quitter leur maison, leur quartier. À cela, s'ajoutent les tensions liées aux récentes manifestations réclamant le départ du Premier ministre Ariel Henry. Dans ce contexte, une réunion sur le déploiement de la force multinationale, qu'Haïti attend depuis des mois, se tient à Washington. Le gouvernement haïtien insisterait, selon Le Nouvelliste, pour obtenir une date approximative du déploiement de cette force.États-Unis : « féminicide », un terme encore absent du débat publicUne femme meurt toutes les cinq heures sous les coups de son compagnon ou ex-compagnon aux États-Unis. Selon le FBI, en 2021, 1 700 femmes ont été tuées parce qu'elles sont des femmes. En France, par exemple, on parlerait de « féminicide », mais le terme reste encore tabou outre-Atlantique. « C'est parce que ce mot ressemble beaucoup au mot féminisme, qui est un peu un gros mot ici », explique Dawn Wilcox, créatrice de Women Count USA, qui recense les meurtres de femmes. « Même si nous aimons penser que nous sommes modernes et progressistes, notre société est encore très patriarcale. Lorsque les femmes parlent de violence, d'agression sexuelle ou de féminicide, les hommes le prennent comme un affront personnel ».Pour Kimala Price, professeure à l'Université de San Diego, l'absence de ce terme est lié à la question du contrôle des armes à feu : « La violence armée est très répandue ici et si vous parlez de féminicides, cela oblige les gens à réfléchir à leur cause ». Plus de la moitié des femmes assassinées l'ont été par arme à feu aux États-Unis. « Les gens ne voient pas le problème parce que ces meurtres n'ont pas lieu dans l'espace public. On n'est pas censé s'impliquer dans la relation entre deux personnes. Mais les relations violentes ne sont pas un crime passionnel. Elles ne sont que domination et contrôle », conclut Kimala Price. Venezuela : la désertion de l'Université de MaracaiboDepuis quelques années, la Faculté de sciences de Maracaibo, au Venezuela, a été peu à peu abandonnée et pillée. Le sol est jonché de feuilles, de pages de livres arrachées, de thèses… « toute l'information qui s'est générée ici pendant des décennies, tout est là, par terre », déplore Randi Guerrero, chercheur, autrefois étudiant de cette faculté. Le doyen José Ortega explique à Alice Campaignolle les raisons de cette désertion : « En 2019, quand il y a eu un vol dans une petite centrale proche d'ici, le bâtiment est resté sans courant électrique. Puis il y a eu la pandémie et tout est resté vide. Et là, ça a été le début des vols, des pillages. Les dommages sont très importants : le travail de 50 ans s'est envolé en deux ans ».La désertion a commencé encore plus tôt, il y a dix ans, à cause de la crise économique et sociale. Beaucoup d'étudiants ont émigré et les financements de l'université ont été réduits. Les autorités ne font rien pour tenter de récupérer ce campus. Comble du cynisme : un immense parc d'attractions à ciel ouvert de l'autre côté de la rue, construit pour plusieurs millions de dollars. Le journal de La 1èreLes Diables Noirs vont parader au carnaval à Fort-de-France, en Martinique.
Femicide, the intentional killing of a woman because she is a woman, is a pervasive and brutal form of male violence against women that persists worldwide. Together with femicide researcher Dawn Wilcox, we explore the dynamics of femicide through the lens of Women Count USA, a femicide accountability project she developed that chronicles victims of femicide in the United States from 1950 onward. According to Wilcox, “male violence against women and girls is a preventable public health crisis. Femicide, domestic violence and sexual assault are intolerable violations of the basic worth, dignity and human rights of women and girls in the United States and the world.” The comprehensive database of femicide victims that is Women Count USA is intended to not only provide data about femicide but also uplift its victims and give each of them a name. Dawn Wilcox is a registered nurse with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Texas Woman's University and 27 years of service in the nursing profession. Her dedication to women who are victims of violence has been a decades-long journey since having survived her own experiences of abuse and gender-based violence.

On this episode of the en(gender)ed podcast, our guest is Wendy Murphy, a former child abuse and sex crimes prosecutor who teaches at New England Law School in Boston and heads the Women's and Children's Advocacy Project under the Center for Law and Social Responsibility. Wendy specializes in the representation of crime victims, especially women and children. She also writes and lectures widely on victims' rights and criminal justice policy, and published an expose of the American legal system, And Justice For Some, in 2007. We speak with Wendy today about the ERA, its implication for women, especially with respect to Title IX, and the need for a feminist revolution in public policy, law, and in our collective consciousness. During our conversation, Wendy and I referenced the following resources: Big Love's misuse of "consent" as an analytical framework for polygamy The difference between the use of "consent" versus "autonomy" in crimes involving sex-based violence The discrepancy between how the law treats sex-based harm and other forms of harm, and how "consent" is used as a criteria, versus civil rights criteria of "unwelcome" Data manipulation of gender-based violence Dawn Wilcox's work in creating a femicide database How proponents of "Restorative Justice" and decriminalization of prostitution use "consent" as a justification for coercion and exploitation The impact of "de-sexing" of language An analysis of the policy impact of conflating "sex" and "gender identity" The inability of women to talk about "sex" as a political class TItle IX and Title VI and the Equality Act's implications for members of the transgender community and for cis women The Biden Administration's tacit and explicit opposition to the ERA Wendy's support for a new "Women's Party" or union --- Thanks for tuning in to the en(gender)ed podcast!

Join me for Part 2 where I conclude my conversation with Dawn Wilcox, a school nurse in Texas, who began documenting women and girls murdered, in 2018, by men in America. She's found and recorded over 1600 - with hundreds more to add - in order to complete her femicide victims' spreadsheet. In this country, an average of three to five women are murdered by men each day. This is a national emergency nobody's talking about.
