The Deputy Minister in charge of Equality between women and men, Elisabeth Moreno, "will put all her energy" to convince Emmanuel Macron to bring Gisèle Halimi to the Pantheon, she assured Sunday in the program "The great workshop "on France Inter.
Gisèle Halimi "was an activist of all rights. She carried out battles that nobody had had the courage to carry before her", developed Elisabeth Moreno, citing the "manifesto of 343 sluts" or her fight for them. rights of LGBT + people.
Asked about his ability to convince Emmanuel Macron to pantheonize the ardent advocate for the cause of women who died in July, the minister replied that "in any case", she "would put all (her) energy into it".
Gisèle Halimi "has also allowed France to evolve in its way of thinking, in its way of seeing women", underlines the minister.
If it rested in the Pantheon, which hosts the heroes of the history of France, including Simone Veil since 2018, this "would demonstrate that France is a country resolutely committed to equality between women and men", believes the minister.
