Les efFRONTé-e-s

They sought the MedWF's support: 
- to organize the 4th edition of their Feministival; 
- to develop and professionalize the association; 
- to enable access to psychological care for victims of GBV; 
- to bring to fruition their podcast project on the abolition of the prostitution system, begun last year, in order to raise awareness among a young audience with little access to accurate information, figures and analysis of the subject. In particular, they wanted to bring an intersectional, materialist, anti-transphobia/LGBTphobia, anti-racist and anti-capitalist approach to this issue splitting the feminist movement.

The objective of the association is to lead campaigns, especially against pornography, to lead awareness-raising and training actions for the abolition of the prostitution system, campaigns to support women victims of violence, for the protection of children and against pedocriminality in association with other collectives. Les Effrontées also wishes to continue and reinforce the accompaniment of victims and to multiply their activities, such as the feminist cafés "Caféministes".
 

The support of the Mediterranean Women’s Fund has helped to perpetuate the work undertaken, namely: 

• Raising public awareness of violence against women: interventions in schools, in the workplace, prevention of sexual harassment and assault in the workplace, conference-debates, awareness-raising campaign on social networks;
• Strengthening the support of women victims of violence;
• Consolidation of the team with the hiring of a coordinator.

The Féministival, which will take place in Bellevilloise (Paris) in September 2018, is a feminist artistic festival which aims to promote women artists, highlight women artists of the past, forgotten or erased from history, to generate in-depth debate on gender inequalities and to promote feminist values.
