The Hubertine Auclert center is launching a campaign aimed at raising awareness among adolescents against sexual and gender-based violence. It will be broadcast via public transport and social networks, in order to reach as many audiences as possible on a subject that is still too poorly understood.
Gender-based and sexual violence, that's okay touching in transport at penetration, Passing by insults on the outfit, whistling, photo broadcasts / cyberstalking (nudes, dick-picks), emotional blackmail for the purpose of having sex, and also for the sole purpose of to insist for any act.
The most affected are women, 40% of them are under 15, and the subject is not widespread enough, or even understood. “This phenomenon goes completely under the radar, nobody realizes it and nobody hears it ", Marie-Pierre Badré told AFP, delegate for equality between women and men for the Île-de-France region and president of the Hubertine Auclert center, at the origin of the #PlusJamaisSansMonAccord campaign.
What is that ?
#PlusJamaisSansMonAccord is a campaign launched on October 22, 2020 to fight against gender-based and sexual violence. It is aimed at high school students aged 15 to 18 and aims to "help young people to spot and identify specific forms of gender-based and sexual violence and encourage them to take action ”. The campaign chooses social networks and public transport as communication media.
Why ?
Adolescents, and often even adults, tend to downplay these kinds of acts and not realize how serious they are. Teenage girls themselves don't always see the harm in these actions. “If gender-based and sexual violence also remains trivialized, it is also because we do not talk about it enough”.
To try to overcome this problem, strong and intentionally shocking sentences such as “he posted a nude of her, it made us sickr ”,“I didn't want to, he forced me”Will be displayed, and will be in brochures distributed in secondary schools in Île-de-France and on certain trains.
An informative brochure is also available, including a test and everything you need to know about gender-based and sexual violence.
For whom exactly?
The girls and the boys. The site is very comprehensive and offers appropriate monitoring that is aimed at both victims and witnesses. Everyone can find answers there, even adults. This campaign wants to be very committed, and wants to push the boys (and other non-victims) to react and not to be complicit in these acts, by being spectators.
By its definition, consent is "the approval of a request or a project”. Since you have to start from the beginning and explain in a simple way what consent is in general, a sexual desire is a project. If the person to whom we propose this project, argued or not, does not want to be part of it or simply does not answer with “yes”, it is because he is not sure or because it does not interest him not. The principle is therefore not to insist and to leave this person alone.
Only, and all too often, those who propose are so absorbed in their project that they will still go to the end.
Sexist and sexual assault does not only concern the victim and the perpetrator, it concerns those around, those who act and those who do nothing. They are watching you, and so are we.
If someone in distress needs help or a hearing, they are not judged. “I believe you, You did well to tell me about it, You had nothing to do with it, He is the culprit, The law forbids it, I can help you ” are good examples of sentences to say. It is also possible to direct people to the Viols Femmes Information telephone number 0 800 05 95 95 or the listening chat www.commentonsaime.fr. Telling someone who is violent that you don't agree with what they are doing is also taking action.
