Tuesday, March 8 was Women's Right Day in the high school of Romain Rolland. The club of girls and boys’ equality made many stands and a lot of exhibitions in the high school to celebrate this event. I discovered in “the books stand” a lot of books I hadn’t seen in the library, although I am there from Monday to Friday! I learned many things about the women’s rights in a quiz we made like:

• “When did women get the right to vote?” In 1944;

• “Who published the Declaration of the Rights of Women and Citizens in 1791 ?” Olympes de Gouges;

• “What does the Simone Veil law authorized from 1975?” Voluntary Termination of Pregnancy (VTP).

• “When was rape defined and recognized as a crime?” December 13th, 1980.

It’s the sexuality stand that was the most amazing to me, because I met other bi-people; like me. I have learned many things about all kinds of sexuality and it was really very instructive.

I think this kind of event should be celebrated more in schools, to reach most of the people, because it is in mentalities that behaviors and ideas begin. School can help change a lot of things, especially people’s ideas about some taboos, like gender equality.
