Fadela Amara
Fadela Amara (actually Fatiha Amara , born April 25, 1964 in Clermont-Ferrand ) is a French politician and feminist . She was one of 11 children in a family who immigrated from Kabylia , France.
Fadela Amara was president of the movement Ni putes ni soumises (“neither whores nor subordinates”), which fights for equal treatment for women in Muslim society in the French suburbs . For her followers she is therefore a champion of the hitherto neglected issue of the rights of Muslim women, while her opponents accuse her of anti-Islamic attitudes. Despite membership in the French Socialist Party , Amara was appointed to his government by President Nicolas Sarkozy and from June 18, 2007 to November 2010 she was State Secretary for Town Planning and Urban Development in the Conservative Cabinet Fillon II in the Ministry for Housing and Urban Development under Minister Christine Boutin . She lost her office in a government reshuffle. In the 2012 presidential election she supported the Socialist candidate, François Hollande .
