Great article Thierry, thanks for writing about this issue!  :)
It's really important that - amongst other "actions" - articles like 
these are written regularly about the matter. It's a good way to start 
making things change.

Thierry, could we consider translating your article into English for the 
WoMoz blog please?
For example, we could send you the English copy for review before 
publishing it (or whatever you prefer)

I also wanted to take this occasion to tell to you all that we will be 
announcing "officially" to the world the creation and existence of WoMoz 
and its Website in just a few days  :)
We'll be writing blog posts all over the place, updating Facebook and 
upcoming Twitter accounts... and more! (we'll tell you what exact day in 
advance so you have time to write a blog post if you wish)

So stay tuned, more fun is coming in soon!

Cheers,
Delphine
