This Saturday, November 25, is marked as international day for the elimination of violence against women. A scourge that is still far too present in our society, particularly through domestic violence, and which many personalities, in France and abroad, tend to combat. Whether it be by sharing their life experience on the subject to alert women likely to be in this situation, or in alerting politicians and society on the actions to be taken to stop this violence, many well-known personalities are speaking so that the subject is considered by everyone. Among them is notably the actress Muriel Robin, who made this fight a true priesthood in her life, particularly after her interpretation of Jacqueline Sauvage in a TV film broadcast on TF1 in 2018.
In her struggle, she can count on support also from strong women like Barbara Pravi, who was unfortunately the victim of domestic violence in her youth, or the actress Alexandra Lamy, who also wanted to alert the crowds, through her first production, the TV film Affected, broadcast in 2022, again on TF1. In France, other celebrities have also been involved in this fight for many years. The singer Lio, also a victim of domestic violence in the past, became an important voice of this fight. The actress and wife of the former head of state François Hollande, Julie Gayet, also does not hesitate to call upon public authorities and competent authorities by becoming the spokesperson for the Women’s Foundation.
