Several sports, but the same cause. On the occasion of the International Day for the Fight against Violence Against Women, several French federations and bodies have mobilized to contribute their contribution to the edifice.
The Professional Football League has launched a participatory approach, in collaboration with the Solidarité Femmes association and supported by the Ministry responsible for Equality between Women and Men, Diversity and Equal Opportunities: #UnMurPourElles. In this context, Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 clubs and all of the LFP’s partner associations were invited to take a picture of themselves forming a wall, as if to defend on a free kick.

All of these photos will then be brought together to form “an endless wall against violence against women” and “show women victims of violence that they are not alone“.
On the side of the oval, the French Rugby Federation has also launched its awareness campaign. For this, she called on her internationals, current and former. In video, Charles Ollivon, Romain Ntamack or even Vincent Clerc call to never accept or close their eyes to this type of violence.

The French Hockey Federation for its part split a tweet to express its commitment to this day and to remind that it was continuing its prevention work. The goal of all these steps is to promote the 3919, listening number intended for victims and witnesses of violence against women. National, anonymous and free, it is accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It offers listening, informs and directs people towards support and support systems.
