Voix de Femmes
Founded in 1998 by a survivor of forced marriage, Voix de Femmes is firmly committed to combating all forms of discrimination and violence linked to this practice. Their mission is to promote respect for fundamental rights, with a particular focus on gender equality and non violence in family and intimate relationships.
They provide individualised support to victims, carry out prevention and awareness raising activities targeting young people and the general public, and advocate for greater recognition of forced marriage among policymakers.
Through their SOS Forced Marriage service, they recorded 147 referrals in 2023, with 72% of young women contacting the service before the marriage took place. They also delivered 13 awareness raising sessions in schools.
