ActuElles' guest involved in this project, director Aurore Evain, explains how women in the theater have been made invisible.

She returns to the definition of this concept which, far from being a neologism, finds its roots in the Middle Ages.

Also included:

In Mexico City, the statue of Christopher Columbus, the first European to discover the American continent, will be replaced by that of an Olmec woman.

A very strong symbolic change announced by the mayor of the capital for the 200 years of independence of the country. 

In Afghanistan, the Taliban want to make women invisible in public space.

This involves in particular the imposition of the burqa.

On social networks, many Afghan women, many of whom live in exile, are fighting back.

Dressed in traditional outfits, they highlight in photos the richness, diversity and cheerfulness of their culture.
