Project presentation
In France, violence against women with disabilities remains largely underrecognized, and limited resources are in place to address it. However, disability is a factor that increases exposure to violence, particularly psychological violence.
In 2015, the association Femmes Pour le Dire, Femmes pour Agir (FDFA) set up a dedicated helpline for women with disabilities victims of violence, offering tailored solutions adapted to their specific situations. Faced with a steady increase in calls (over 2,000 in 2018), FDFA aims to sustain and strengthen its support through continued telephone helplines, as well as in-person services (psychological, social, legal, and administrative support) and the organization of creative and well-being activities.
