‘My place is in the Hirak and not in the kitchen’, target Algerian women to political power and, more broadly, to a diffuse socio-cultural and patriarcal order, which makes them subject to multiple injunctions: spatial, family, educational, professional, etc. When occupying insurgent streets and investing the Hirak as a place to fight, Algerians have lowered the logic of male domination and gained access to a new form of political visibility. They have made the issue of gender equality, acquired in law but denied in practice, an issue of citizen mobilisation for a new, free and democratic Algeria.
