No institution is spared in the face of sexual violence and the Protestant Churches in their diversity are also affected by this tragedy.
Murielle According will intervene for the promotion of her free "Domestic violence in evangelical churches" while Valérie Duval-Poujol, will raise public awareness of domestic violence through the association "A place for them"
The two women are both members of this association for raising awareness of domestic violence and feminicide.
Founded in 2017 under the impetus of Valérie Duval-Poujol, it is inspired by an initiative born in Italy in 2013 "Posto Occupato" (place occupied in French editor's note). Empty chairs are set up in public buildings to draw attention to victims of domestic violence. This empty place symbolizes the place of these women who are no longer there today, dead under the blows of their partner.
