Fight against excision and forced marriage
with Les Orchidées Rouges (The Red Orchids)
What is it?
We work in France and in Côte d'Ivoire for the eradication of female sexual mutilation, forced marriage, and all other forms of violence against women and young girls from a very young age.
- We inform and educate the general public and professionals (conferences, workshops, film screenings, exhibitions, conferences, seminars, etc.).
- In terms of prevention, we train health professionals, national education, social workers, employees and volunteers of associations, professionals from institutions and all civil society...
- In New Aquitaine we welcome women and young girls who are victims of excision and forced marriage. We accompany them in their overall reconstruction, namely, their psychological and physical reconstruction, the reappropriation of their body and their sexuality, and the development of their power to act through their social and professional re(integration).
We are the first regional care unit in France, specializing in the holistic support of women and girls who are victims of excision and forced marriage.
