"To be a woman and not to be a feminist is a bit contradictory because to be a feminist is to want equality," says Élisa. "There are a lot of men who are feminists too and we hope that one day we will no longer have the need to be feminists. We are still a bit far from it."
"Everyone has feminine and masculine in themselves"
For her part, Juliette believes that equality can be achieved if men assume their share of femininity. "Everyone has feminine and masculine qualities in themselves. What you need to do is find your own balance and not deny your feminine part," she said.
The three young women also say they are part of the environmental defense movement, which is growing thanks to the young generation. "In the last generations, there are more and more children and adolescents who realize that there is a problem. We are doing anything with the place in which we live. We place all our hopes on this generation so that they can change things, "explains Élisa.

The singer and musician however thinks that in matters of ecology, it is necessary to "find the happy medium", while avoiding to fall into a radical vision. "We are not saying that we must cut ourselves off from the consumer society, to go back 100 or 200 years back, but we must really succeed in finding a balance", specifies Élisa.
