r/algeria

I’m curious what people here actually think about feminism.

And I’m not talking about the endless 50/50 debates, who pays, who provides, or who stays home.

I mean feminism in the sense of women having the same basic rights and dignity as men: being seen as equal human beings, deserving of a voice, being free to have dreams, make their own choices, and live the kind of life they want the same way a man can.

Do you consider yourselves feminists? If not, where do you disagree?

Salam! I’m a dual citizen and would like to visit Al-Aqsa and support the Palestinian economy in Bethlehem and the WestBank.

Has anyone here visited Jerusalem using their non-Algerian passport? If so, did it cause you any issues with Algeria afterward (entering the country, renewing your passport, etc.)?

I’m looking for personal experiences. Thanks you!

On passe notre temps à critiquer la société, l’État et la vie, mais concrètement beaucoup ne font que dormir, manger, juger et se plaindre.On est en Algérie, un pays en retard oui, mais plein d’opportunités. Ici tout reste à construire, contrairement aux pays développés où tout est déjà saturé. Pas besoin d’inventer le futur prenez juste ce qu’on importe et produisez-le localement.Des aides et des chemins existent, encore faut-il arrêter la mentalité de victime et passer à l’action.Pour ceux qui demandent et toi t’as fait quoi? j’ai 28 ans, je suis dans le commerce, j’ai construit mon parcours seul, investi dans plusieurs projets, et aujourd’hui mon travail fait vivre plus de 14 familles.

For me, my family has always been a safe space. We're an atheist family, although I have two Muslim uncles, one Aunt who is practicing the ancient amazigh religion...and my grandparents are Christian. Inside my home, different beliefs have never been a problem we live in harmony and we respect each other....

Outside, however, it's a very different story.

On paper, Algeria's Constitution speaks about democracy and guarantees freedom of belief and non-belief. In practice, several laws significantly restrict that freedom. Criticism or discussion of religion, especially Islam, the Prophet Muhammad, or his companions, can lead to prosecution under laws against insulting or offending religion. Even expressing certain opinions publicly can carry legal risks.

There are also regulations that affect daily life. For example, eating or drinking publicly during Ramadan may result in legal consequences in some circumstances, particularly if it is considered offensive to public religious norms.

The situation is also difficult for religious minorities. Christian worship is legally regulated, and churches have faced closures or administrative restrictions over the years, making it difficult for many Christians to practice their faith freely.

Beyond the legal system, the social pressure is often even stronger. In Algeria, people generally assume that if you are born into an Algerian family, you are Muslim, you will remain Muslim, and you will die Muslim. Openly identifying as an atheist or leaving Islam can bring intense social stigma, family pressure, discrimination, or even threats.

For many people, the biggest challenge isn't just the law. It's living in a society where simply having a different belief is often seen as unacceptable.

No real estate and no moving abroad what business are u starting in which city and why do u think it d work?

I don't know if the population is already hyper aware of this, but we are in a miserable situation, hirak 2019 was not enough, in fact Bouteflika period was way better despite the oil prices sky rocket since then, why our country is getting raped and the population is silence. And they keep faking all data fed to the international organizations. Even the latest election turnout is fake because most of the young people are not registered at all and if they register them automatically the turnout will become a single digit. And the dangerous part is that the population is disconnected and everyone is trying to run with their skin.

Please wake up

My mom and me are thinking about buy a house in Algeria and I was curious to know how people are paying their house with their money from abroad.
They just send money in an account in euro/dollar and then buy the house with euro ? Or should they change everything in dinars to buy ?
