On the pitch, Eve Périsset, 25, keeps the right lane of the Girondins de Bordeaux women's team.
At the Stade Brestois, Romain Perraud, 23, runs the left lane.
In addition to the defensive tasks and projections on their wing, the two side have a common commitment: to prevent violence against women.
To this end, they both support Libra, a young committed French fashion brand whose vocation is to defend this cause, by donating part of its profits to an association.
In this case, Libra (whose name in English refers to the astrological sign of Libra and therefore to equality between the sexes) provides for the needs of the Tunisian association BEITY, which supports women victims of discrimination, violence and exclusion.
The sweatshirt models offered by Libra were symbolically baptized with the first names of Rosa (Parks), Simone (Veil) or Maya (Angelou).
"I feel in solidarity with all the women who are attacked"
"I am quite discreet but when I am offered a project that interests me, that it is a question of passing messages, I do not hesitate, explains the former player of PSG, called with the Blue for France-Austria Friday and France-Kazakhstan Tuesday.
As a woman, I feel in solidarity with all women, especially those who are assaulted or suffer violence in the family circle.
It is important to be able to speak, to dare to say it, in order to be able to get help.
It's not easy, so it's important for me to speak out about this cause and help Libra do it on their own, through my image. ”

For Perraud, the Brestois who climbs in Ligue 1, this commitment is the natural extension of his natural empathy for the other sex.
“I grew up with my mother, a big sister and a little one,” says the native of Toulouse.
My father and I have always been surrounded by women and I have always been sensitive to their plight.
I couldn't conceive of anyone harming them, any more than any other woman.
The cause defended by the brand touches me and in addition, I find the clothes beautiful.
I wear his sweatshirt to go to training or in my daily outings.

The support of Carine Galli, singer Angèle ...
The clothes are also meant to be eco-responsible, ie made from cotton from organic plantations and produced according to responsible ethics.
Libra, who also receives the support of Perle Morroni, the PSG player, also relies off the field or not far on the singer Angèle, the journalists Carine Galli and Mohamed Bouhafsi as well as the comedian Hakim Jemili.

In unison, Eve and Romain deem "super" the initiative to include a line of lipstick on each player's face in Serie A last weekend in Italy.
Initiative repeated every year.
And Perraud concludes: "It is proof that our sport, eminently masculine and often stigmatized for that, wants to make things happen."
