“The platform against violence”.
On November 25, the international day for the fight against violence against women, the Professional Football League (LFP) and the Solidarité Femmes association are mobilizing through a platform produced in the form of an audio clip, encouraging people to call 3919, a dedicated emergency number.
The mother body of professional football in France brought together around thirty women to record this clip.
We find in particular the professional players of OL, such as Amandine Henry, Wendie Renard, Sarah Bouhaddi or Amel Majri, as well as players of AJ Auxerre or RC Strasbourg.
The Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 broadcasters also contributed with the voices of journalists Vanessa Le Moigne (BeIN Sports), Marina Lorenzo (Téléfoot) and Marie Portolano (Canal +).

In this hard-hitting one-minute audio clip, they call to “hear the cries”, “the voices of women, victims but not defenseless” and recall that “the word is our best friend”.
"For several seasons, the LFP has worked alongside Solidarité Femmes to raise awareness and alert supporters, and beyond all those interested in football, about domestic violence", details the League in the presentation of this clip.
