Editorial: Liberation

• There were no historical speeches made on March 4, 2024 at the joint Congress in Versailles, but it remains a historic day.
• Recognition is given to Madeleine Pelletier, a feminist who performed clandestine abortions in the 20th century.
• The day brings back memories of the Bobigny trial, where Gisèle Halimi secured the acquittal of Marie-Claire Chevalier, a woman who aborted after being raped.
• It's a chance to share the courage and emotion of Simone Veil on the national assembly for the legalization of abortion.
• A homage is also paid to all the activists, all the less famous representatives, who continue the fight for these rights.
• It is a cause for joy and a reason to forget, at least for a day, the reactionary winds that are against.

Conclusion: There should be time to savor this victory that is far from symbolic.
