</div>
<div class="">This is just a reminder to draw attention to the ASAO session: </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><b class="" style="color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit;"><font size="4" class="">Pacific Sisters at the crossroads of discrimination in politics,
gender, and identification (sex) identities</font></b><br>
</div>
<div class=""><font size="4" class=""><b class=""><br class="">
</b></font>Session Type: INFORMAL</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
Co convened with (alphabetical order): Anae (Melani), Kruse (Line-Noue), Serge (Tcherkezoff)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><i class="">This session is a new start and everyone interested is welcome to share the informal discussion on the topics that should be put forward and could considered more closely at the next step, which will be a « working » session, next
year.</i><br class="">
<br class="">
Even if this a new start, and thus with a status of « informal session » allowing to type of round-table discussion, this ASAO session is also the continuation of previous sessions "Pacific Women in Politics" (2021) and "Pacific Queer communities" (Auckland,
then Hilo 2020). Several participants from these previous sessions approved a <i class="">
linkage between the question of gender imbalance in politics and imbalance in transgenderism.</i><br class="">
<br class="">
We wish to continue to look at the situation of Women in Politics, the inequality of access to political roles (and the recent advent of a Tamaitai Palemia in Sâmoa shows by contrast how such a situation is still an exception), to traditional titles (chief-matai,
etc.). We integrate the comparison with French territories to examine the issue of gender quota rules under parity law. Recent events in Sâmoa also call for scrutiny, when the 10 percent gender quota regulation was at the same time recognised by all and became
a strong point of conflict between political parties.<br class="">
<br class="">
In the session about Queer communities in the Pacific, there was the unavoidable tendency to situate the discussions within the Queer, Transgender spaces. But there is also a need, in regard to the Queer communities in the Pacific, to assess how transgender
persons, as a minority, are integrated, or more exactly not really integrated, in their own society. And on that level of relativity of acceptance by the mainstream discourse, there is great imbalance, in a number of Polynesian societies, between the more-or-less
integration for transgender MtF (such as the fa’afafine, leiti, mahu, etc.) and the complexity of integration for transgender FtM (such as the fa’afatama, vahine-raerae, mahukane, aiwahine, etc.). <br class="">
<br class="">
Now we try to redirect the previous call for these two sessions into a single session to bring together the discussions on
<u class="">gender imbalances</u> in domains as varied as access to contemporary political offices, to traditional offices (matai etc.), to land heritage (within collective as well as individual types of ownership), but also unequal access to the possibility
of questioning gender and identification (sex) identities.<br class="">
