Aurélie Gadjendra, 20, is an activist for the Republic En Marche in Paris.
At the age of 12, Aurélie was the victim of a sexual assault on the way to school.
This event is a real awareness of the insecurity that women experience daily in the street.
During her adolescence, Aurélie was repeatedly bothered on public transport in Paris, under the indifferent gaze of passers-by.
These various misadventures lead her to redouble her attention in her daily life, from the way she dresses to the times she takes public transport.
During the 2017 presidential campaign, already keen on politics, Aurélie was attentive to the speech of Emmanuel Macron, who proposed a new hybrid political offer between the Republican right and left.
