Welcome to the Jineolojî Centre of Brussels

Jineolojî Centre Objectives

  • To encourage women to research their history, circumstances, dreams and struggles with the aim of gaining more self-awareness
  • To hold workshops that help women to understand and practice their rights
  • To organize seminars
  • To write and publish articles
  • To give information and take action on gender based violence: domestic violence, rape, honor killings, forced marriages
  • To establish partnerships with associations fighting for women’s freedom in Europe and across the world.

We founded our centre in 2017 and immediately started to share our ideas through seminars, public presentations and discussions throughout Europe and globally. The long term objective of the centre is to promote research in the human and social sciences that are related to women’s experiences past and present (including matriarchal society); women’s emancipation; and the creation of a democratic, ecological, and anti-patriarchal society.

We especially focus on spreading Jineolojî in Europe by networking with local associations and collectives who fight for women’s liberation and women’s rights. Rather than researching women’s lives and cultures from an “outsider” perspective, we give importance to encouraging women from different communities to research and (re) write their own histories and define their concerns and interests.

Working together, this will empower women to act all round the world. The Centre will function as a bridge between different areas of work and action; a contact centre serving women from different cultures and backgrounds; a documentation and coordination centre.
