In recent years, uprisings against various forms of violence have been erupting, now encouraged by the government itself with the help of listening cells set up. However, this is not enough to make all victims speak, nor to deter aggressors and stalkers. Roselyne Bachelot, Minister of Culture, was firm on the subject nearby Parisian, Saturday October 2: “The figures are already significant, but we are still far from being informed of all the cases. We must therefore continue the fight and broaden it.“Before ensuring all the same with pride:”Speech is freed and I am delighted because it is a subject that concerns me and mobilizes me completely. “In the newspaper, she revealed the new initiatives that will complete this plan to fight against sexual and gender-based violence in culture.
Asked about the National Music Center (CNM), which donated aid of one million euros as part of this fight, Roselyne Bachelot took it as an example: “Since January, the CNM has only paid grants to public and private companies that are committed to preventing and combating gender-based and sexual violence. And at the same time, it helps more and more associations and companies engaged in this field. As this work is bearing fruit, in music but also in cinema, I want to go further.“This model plan will soon be extended to other areas, before the end of the year, such as publishing, theater, dance and the visual arts.
Training offered to professionals in the field
The septuagenarian, who argued that “the fight against this violence is not negotiable“and that it is”no question of compromising“, announced the establishment of special training.”Beyond the severe cases, there is a sexism that I would ordinarily characterize that is absolutely unbearable. A skills operator in the cultural sector, Afdas, was asked to offer training courses to the 70,000 member companies in culture, but also sport and the media. This represents 700,000 employees and intermittents and we will contribute to this training, which will be eligible for continuing training. This will amplify the mobilization“, she asserted.
