Days of action against violence against women

Far from tolerance or resignation, the University of Montpellier is pursuing its commitment to the fight against violence against women. To mark the international day on November 25, it will be offering a variety of events with a single objective: to understand the root causes of such violence, so as to prevent it and put a stop to it.

On the program: self-defense workshops (reserved for UM staff), an online awareness module (reserved for the university community), a theatrical performance based on the emblematic figure of Gisèle Halimi and a meeting with Maiana Bidegain at the screening of her film "Rencontre avec mon agresseur", a particularly powerful moment not to be missed.
