Sexual violence, a systemic perspective: acting and preventing
In the heart of Saint-Malo, the 15th Vents d’Ouest Congress, organised by the Institut Pégase Processus, opened my eyes to a reality that often remains veiled: sexual violence. Through this gathering, I came to measure the urgency of systemic, collective action.
The event went beyond the academic frame to become a shared call: understanding in order to act. Psychologists, educators, legislators… all converged towards the same goal, pushing back this scourge. The congress underlined the importance of prevention, of educating young people and of promoting open dialogue.
What do I take away from it? The strength of collective action and the necessity of our commitment, as professionals and as citizens.
The vlog filmed on site — in French — can be found below and gives a glimpse of the event.
