Sauver les oiseaux de paradis, sauver la dignité de la Papouasie
Je tiens à féliciter l'Agence indonésienne de conservation des ressources naturelles (BKSDA) de Papouasie pour sa réaction rapide suite à la découverte d'un commerce d'animaux sauvages endémiques dans plusieurs régions de Papouasie. Lors de la dernière opération, les agents ont découvert plus de soixante oiseaux vivants destinés à la vente, ainsi que cinquante-quatre autres qui avaient été tués, conservés et transformés en couronnes décoratives à partir de plumes d'oiseaux de paradis. Toutes (…)

Les voisins occidentaux de l'Ukraine : peur, profit et solidarité en Pologne, Slovaquie et Roumanie
Depuis près de quatre ans après l'invasion à grande échelle, l'Ukraine est devenue un sujet central du débat politique dans tous les États d'Europe de l'Est. Compte tenu de la lassitude des sociétés et de la crainte de la menace russe, cette attention est loin d'être toujours flatteuse.
Cependant, de nouvelles routes logistiques, une production militaire intensifiée et l'anticipation de l'adhésion de l'Ukraine à l'UE renforcent les interconnexions avec les pays de la région. Et, (…)

Ukraine's western neighbours: fear, benefit and solidarity in Poland, Slovakia and Romania
For almost four years after the full-scale invasion, Ukraine has become a central topic of political debate in all Eastern European states. Given societies' fatigue and fear of the Russian threat, this attention is far from always complimentary.
However, new logistical routes, intensified military production, and anticipation of Ukraine's accession to the EU are increasing interconnections with the region's countries. And, as it seems, contribute to the economic development of the latter. (…)

Indonesia: Contested Terrain – Feminism, Faith and the Fight for Lesbian and Trans Rights
The relationship between feminist movements and lesbian and trans activists in Indonesia reveals fundamental tensions about what feminism means in the world's largest Muslim-majority country. These tensions reflect not merely conservative religious opposition, but deeper questions within feminist organisations themselves about whether they can reconcile commitments to gender equality with interpretations of Islam that many members hold dear. Understanding these internal dynamics requires (…)

Papuan Rural Mamas: Nurturing Seeds, Healing Wounds
For Papuan women, nurturing seeds is part of a long journey of healing wounds. This was experienced by Mama Awin Keti. She is a survivor of the 1998 Biak Massacre. The painful experience she endured is expressed through the practice of planting food crops, such as upland rice seeds and millet. For Mama Awin, planting is a way of restoring herself, in the midst of a state that has never resolved cases of human rights violations, especially against women and children.
The same path was (…)
