What characteristics should a feminist center have?

  • The students have discussed what they miss and what changes need to be made in their school to be a feminist center and they have produced a decalogue. They've done it at the Toki Alai Institute in Irun and they've put the decalogue in all the classrooms so that the road is always present.

The action was launched with the aim of “claiming and making public that we are a feminist center,” explains Beatriz Rubio Perales, head of co-education for Toki Alai. 3º and 4º In the process, representatives of Coeducación de la ESO (students between 14 and 16 years old, mostly girls) participated. What do they feel like as students, what can't they stand, what they miss, what do they want to change in school? From those questions, a stream of ideas was pulled out and that long list was brought to ten points, to summarize the main ideas.

Recognition of the voice of girls in the classroom

Guarantee the right to dress, move and love freely in the center; do not tolerate insults and macho aggressions; that the material the teachers use is more egalitarian and feminist; that the voice of the girls in the classroom is taken into account; that the patio, the bathroom and the rest of the spaces in the center are reorganized from a feminist perspective; that LGTBIQ+phobic violence is not accepted...

After sharing the decalogue with the other classmates, they have hung it both in the hallway and in all classrooms. Next steps? “That the students and the teachers comply with what is written in it, that they defend what we believe and encourage actions to achieve it,” explains Rubio.

We have also published an article in ARGIA on the work carried out with the young people of this center on the staircase of the toxic relationships of couples.
