Amicale du Nid

What Amicale du Nid does

Amicale du Nid is a secular, independent French non-profit association (loi 1901) founded in 1946 and headquartered at 21 rue du Château d'Eau, 75010 Paris, under the direction of Delphine Jarraud. The organization is an abolitionist association that considers prostitution incompatible with human dignity and gender equality, and operates a comprehensive service platform spanning accompaniment and exit pathways, prevention and awareness, professional training, and territorial research and diagnostics. Its core service products include direct social accompaniment, emergency housing (CHU 'Les Insoumises'), day centers (Accueil de jour), mobile and digital outreach (Aller-vers), specialized programs for minors (Rep'Air in Haute-Garonne, Mission Mineur.es in Seine-Saint-Denis), and the Atelier Malesherbes social-enterprise insertion workshop in Lyon. Beneficiaries include adults in prostitution, minors at risk, victims of trafficking, and social/healthcare professionals requiring training. The organization employs 270+ salaried staff across 15 French departments and serves a fragmented base of vulnerable individuals plus institutional training clients; it generated an estimated $16M–$27M of annual operating budget based on headcount and French social-services benchmarks, though revenue is not publicly disclosed. Funding derives primarily from public grants (DGCS, ARS regional health agencies, departmental councils, Ministry of Interior, FAMI) with supplementary private grants (Fondation de France, Fondation des Femmes) and individual donations, with services delivered free of charge to beneficiaries. The technical platform is conventional: a WordPress-based website (amicaledunid.org), digital prevention tools, social media outreach, and the AGEVAL evaluation platform for case management, with no proprietary AI/ML capability.
