Projects: The New Context, The Old Problems

I remember we brought up and discussed the question of ‘equality or freedom?’ about fifteen years ago, as a slightly hypothetical issue. It was one of the ‘free’ agenda topics of the Persembe Group and someone from this group had brought up the aim of ‘becoming equal to men’ for discussion, also blending it with the whole issue of ‘difference’ and being different from each other. Another person from the same group had proposed the concept of ‘freedom’ instead of ‘equality’ to think in terms of… At that time, this discussion had seemed quite mind opening to me, but it was also very abstract. I could never have imagined that one day this discussion would gain a quite concrete, actual and urgent political significance.
