Physical reception and telephone listening
With a second confinement less strict than in March, is a new jump to be feared? On the side of the Thionville associations coming to the aid of victims, reorganization is required, in order to continue to provide care. “Unlike in the spring, we have chosen to maintain the physical reception in addition to the telephone listening”, details Christelle Isler, head of service of the social support center of Athens and responsible for the inter-association structure Léa (Place of reception and listening carried by Athens and where the CIDFF, the ATAV the order of lawyers, a psychotherapist and a psychologist are on call). Since then, calls for help have multiplied. “We record a lot of calls,” describes Sabrina Henry, coordinator at Léa. In addition, women do not hesitate to move physically, taking advantage of the absence of their attacker who is at work. “

“The word is freed”
At theATAV (Thionville Association for Victim Assistance), during the first days of confinement, the number of calls was on the rise “but since then the situation has become manageable again. It is not comparable to the first confinement. However, we remain vigilant and attentive, because there is a real need. Especially since since the Grenelle of domestic violence which took place at the end of 2019, the floor has become free, ”says Christian Chalon, president of ATAV. Thus, for the association, physical and telephone hotlines continue to be provided at the Thionville tribunal de grande instance. “Today, we have seen an evolution in the nature of violence. From physical they have moved a lot towards psychological violence, verbal and forms of influence. “
