At the initiative of the Compagnons du Marais, a documentary is being prepared on women who have overcome their past as victims of rape.


If in recent years, healthy societal development has brought feminicides to the fore in the news, this is not yet enough for Émilie Kopinski and Mouna Esseghairi.

Respectively social worker and psychologist, they have worked for more than two years within the three structures of the Compagnons du Marais intended for women, including one reserved for victims of domestic violence.

“It is essential to put these facts forward, but we needed to see a little positive on the subject, detail the two social workers.

In 2021, we are still saying that we must be aware of this scourge, but where are the solutions?

We have to show that it is also possible to get out of it, even if it is not easy.

"

"A positive outcome is possible"

This is the whole objective of “Plus Jamais”, the documentary film that they are preparing with director Marc Noujaim.

Highlight the words of five women, formerly beaten by their husbands, who agreed to testify to show “that a positive outcome is also possible”.

Christine, Fatima, Erika, Christelle and Magda.

Five women who have gone through the structures of the Compagnons du Marais or those of the Samu social and the Foundation Diaconesses de Reuilly, in Compiègne, partners of the documentary.

"Women of all origins and all social classes because, contrary to popular belief, this does not only affect the poorest", specifies Mouna Esseghairi.

A positive but realistic speech.

“When we talk about reconstruction, it is a process that takes place throughout a lifetime, not after social support, qualify the two colleagues.

We do not come out of the grip of a violent man unscathed.

Unfortunately, 40% of women reproduce the same pattern afterwards.

"

These witnesses, who were able to get by, find a job or start a family, it did not take long to convince them.

“We had plenty of arguments but we didn't even need them.

Even if it's complicated to testify with their faces uncovered, they were determined.

An initiative that delighted Bruno Bianchi, the director of Compagnons du Marais.

“This is not the usual prism for dealing with this kind of subject,” he appreciates.

That these women come out on top can have an impact on those who are afraid to speak up.

This film must be able to go beyond our borders and take on a national dimension.

And for that, the project needs funding.
