Je ne suis pas une politicienne. Je suis cinéaste. Étudiante. Activiste. Une citoyenne du Québec. Les récentes nouvelles montrant comment les droits reproductifs sont réprimés et la représentation négative sur la sexualité, on effacé les lignes entre la sexualité et la violence, causant une répression envers les deux sexes, sont très inquiétant pour moi. Ce qui me concerne le plus ne sont pas les aspects eux-mêmes, mais comment peut de gens réagissent. Ceci n’est pas un sujet que les étudiants apprennent en secondaire. Ce n’est même pas discuté avec leurs parents, rendant les jeunes vulnérables aux pressions de la société.


La meilleure forme de protection est bien sûr- l’éducation. Ceci est un des objectifs derrière le Projet Lilith, pour ramener l’éducation sexuelle dans le curriculum des écoles secondaires du Québec. La sexualité est liée à la santé d’une personne, ses relations, mais surtout- son identité. C’est l‘un des rares sujets qui affecte les gens à une échelle mondiale et de ne pas l’avoir dans les salles de classe est tout à fait inacceptable.


Sigmund Freud a dit, « Le comportement sexuel de l'homme est souvent un prototype de tous les autres modes de réaction dans le monde. »

I am not a politician. I am a filmmaker. A student. An activist. A citizen of Quebec. Recent news stories infringing on reproductive rights and the media's portrayal of sexuality, blurring the lines between sexuality and violence, causing repression of both genders, have been of great concern for me. What concerns me the most; however, are not the stories themselves, but how little people have reacted to them. This is not a subject students learn in school. This is not even discussed with their parents, thus making the youth fall prey to pressures of society.

The best form of protection is indeed- sex education. This is one of the goals behind the Lilith Project, aimed at bringing sex education back in the curriculum of Quebec high schools. Sexuality is linked to a person's health, a person's relationships, but most of all- their identity. It's one of the few subjects that affect everyone on a global scale, and to not have this in the classroom is simply unacceptable.


As Sigmund Freud said, "The behavior of a human being in sexual matters is often a prototype for the whole of his other modes of reaction in life."
