Het minafest van de dolle mina s legt bloot waar nog ongelijkheid is en waar gevaar dreigt 24.02.2026

The feminist group Dolle Mina's has resurfaced, launching a "Minafest" a year after their revival, featuring essays and letters addressing persistent inequalities and dangers. This 2026 manifesto tackles issues like sexual violence and racism, with Sia Hermanides recounting street harassment. The festival highlights that many original Dolle Mina concerns, such as the wage gap, underrepresentation of women in leadership, and healthcare biases favoring men, remain relevant. It also emphasizes that sexism and misogyny persist, leading to domestic violence and femicide, while the right to abortion, a key Dolle Mina victory, is once again debated. The movement has attracted thousands of women, and the Minafest compiles stories from past and present, including contributions from men like Eric Corton, who urges silent men to speak out against sexism and toxic masculinity, and Kamal Zeytoun, who advocates for understanding boys' emotions. Cabaret artist Lisa Loeb warns that hard-won rights are vulnerable, and the Dolle Mina's issue a call to action for safety and continued activism.
