The organization Femmes Entraide et Autonomie (Women’s mutual aid and autonomy, FAE) was created in 2012, in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, in order to fight against all forms of violence against women and to promote access to rights and health for women, particularly those with an immigrant background. Through its "Men Standing up for Gender Equality" project, FEA has chosen to involve men in the fight against gender-based violence, including female genital mutilation and early and forced marriage: ten men will be trained and will in turn train other men on these subjects.
