How can individuals in Nîmes, particularly men, actively participate in raising awareness and supporting victims of gender-based violence, and what resources are available for those who wish to get involved?
Welcome to our interview with two guests about the program initiated in Nîmes to combat sexual and sexual violence. First, let’s introduce our guests: Annick, a member of the choir “Les Simones”, and Jérémy from the Human Rights League (LDH) Nîmes. Thank you both for joining us today.
Annick, as a member of the choir “Les Simones”, can you tell us about the role of music in raising awareness about gender-based violence? How do you hope your songs will contribute to this fight?
Jérémy, the Human Rights League has supported women’s organizing since its inception. Can you elaborate on the importance of a city-wide coordination to protect women’s rights? What are some of the specific challenges faced by the victims of sexual and gender-based violence in Nîmes?
Moving on to the program developed to combat gender and sexual violence, can you provide more information about the different events planned for the week? Annick, as a member of the choir, we know you’ll be performing on Saturday evening. Tell us more about the concert and how it ties into the overall message of the week.
Jérémy, the LDH is hosting a conference on incest this Sunday as part of the program. What does the Human Rights League hope to achieve through this discussion? And Annick, as someone who is part of the wider Nîmes community, do you think it’s important for men to be involved in the fight against gender-based violence? If so, how can they support the cause?
looking ahead to next year, the program includes a screening of a documentary about sexual violence in schools. How do you see the coordination’s efforts evolving in the coming months and years? And what would be your message to citizens of Nîmes who want to get involved in this fight?
