taz Salon über Frauen im Protest: Wie Greta Rudi überholt hat

In the organizer's words:

The protests of 1968 were mostly male-dominated. Today, women are in the front ranks. Is this progress, coincidence or irrelevant?

In the taz Salon we discuss these questions with women who are involved in the protests as participants or researchers.

In the protests of 1968, the heads were male and women's attempts to articulate their interests were only moderately successful. And even in retrospect, women hardly feature in reports about the '68 protests.

Today, the picture is completely different: The grandpas against the right are still nowhere in sight and female spokespeople are at the forefront of protest movements such as Fridays for Future or Last Generation. Why is that?

Has Greta Thunberg become a role model for a generation of protesters or are the leading positions in climate protests not so attractive? And what role does gender play in the perception of those involved?

The guests are:

🐾 Annika Kruse is a spokesperson for Fridays for Future Hamburg and studies political science at the University of Hamburg.

Ilse Lenz is a sociologist and researches, among other things, the women's movement in Germany and Japan. She is a member of the Institute for Protest and Movement Research. In her book "The New Women's Movement in Germany", she has collected the written legacy of the women's movement on over 1000 pages.

🐾 Helke Sander is a feminist and filmmaker. In 1968, she gave the so-called "tomato speech", which started the uprising of left-wing women against their comrades. She is a co-founder of the Kinderläden (children's stores) and her films have dealt with topics such as the Springer Group, life as a single mother and the social consequences of the pill.

Friederike Gräff will moderate. She has been an editor at the taz in Hamburg since 2006 and is responsible for the justice and culture sections.
