As every year for the past 7 years, the Family Allowance Fund of Guadeloupe and Saint-Martin (CAF) organized in partnership with ALEFPA – le Manteau the “Brisons Le Silence” event as part of the international day of struggle against violence against women and Parenthood Weeks.
This year, around forty women victims of domestic violence were invited as a priority to participate in this 6th edition of Brisons le silence. This action, which offers a day of well-being to these women marked by life, also makes it possible to raise awareness and inform them about the brutal and silent consequences of domestic violence and about the existing systems so that they are supported and accompanied in their process. healing and reconstruction. With clinical psychologist Arlène Jeffry as the godmother of the event, the 6th edition of Brisons le Silence offered women various self-centered workshops: massage, makeup, foot care, photo session to reclaim their image without forgetting the workshop information with the Maison de Protection des Familles and Trait d'Union France Victimes 978 and discussion groups to promote expression in a secure and warm environment. A breakfast and lunch were prepared by the organizing team bringing together the wonderful employees of CAF represented by Valérie Martineau and those of the ALEFPA – le Manteau association represented by Audrey Gil. Thanks to this event which is full of generosity, kindness and sisterhood, the women invited were able, for a day, to take time for themselves and taste again the simple pleasures of life such as sharing a friendly meal together in a pure spirit of solidarity. With a long-lasting partnership network, each edition of Brisons le Silence also highlights emergency aid for victims of domestic violence by recalling CAF's commitment to victims of domestic violence while creating a real dynamic of prevention, support and help at a time when the numbers are increasing on the one hand and when speech is being freed on the other, therefore at a time when victims need it most. _VX
