Ni Putes Ni Soumises (''Neither Whores nor Doormats'') is a French feminist movement, founded in 2002, which has secured the recognition of the French press and the National Assembly of France. It is generally dependent on public funding. It is also the name of a book written by Fadela Amara, one of the leaders of the movement, with the help of ''Le Monde'' journalist Sylvia Zappi. Fadela Amara was appointed as junior minister for urban policy in François Fillon's first government in May 2007. She left the government in 2010, and was named France's inspector general for social affairs in January 2011. NPNS was set up by a group of young French women, including Samira Bellil, in response to the violence being directed at them in the predominantly Muslim immigrant suburbs (''banlieues'') and public housing (''cités'') of cities such as Paris, Lyon and Toulouse, where organised gang-rapes are referred to as ''tournantes'', or "pass-arounds"). ==Goals == The movement fights against violence targeting women and it targets gang-rapes as well as social pressures. It has claimed that some Muslim French girls face pressures to wear the hijab, drop out of school, and marry early without being able to choose the husband.〔 The slogan used by the movement is meant both to shock and mobilise. Members particularly protest against changes of attitudes toward women, claiming there is an increased influence of radical Islam in those French suburbs of large immigrant populations. A particular concern is the treatment of Muslim women. Members claim that they may be pressured into wearing veils, leaving school, and marrying early.〔 However, the movement represents women of all faiths and ethnic origins, all of whom may find themselves trapped by poverty and the ghettoisation of the ''cités''. A translation of the key points of NPNS's national appeal on its official website:〔(Ni Putes Ni Soumises - Le Site Officiel - )〕 *No more moralising: our condition has worsened. The media and politics have done nothing, or very little, for us. *No more wretchedness. We are fed up with people speaking for us, with being treated with contempt. *No more justifications of our oppression in the name of the right to be different and of respect toward those who force us to bow our heads. *No more silence in public debates about violence, poverty and discrimination. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ni Putes Ni Soumises」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
