COLLECTIF FEMINISTE CONTRE LE VIOL

What COLLECTIF FEMINISTE CONTRE LE VIOL does

Collectif Féministe Contre le Viol (CFCV) is a French nonprofit association (loi 1901) founded in 1985 to support victims of rape and sexual assault and to advocate for stronger legal protections against sexual violence. Its core operations center on two national, anonymous, free telephone helplines — Viols Femmes Informations (0 800 05 95 95), operational since March 8, 1986, and Violences Sexuelles dans l'Enfance (0 805 802 804) for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse — through which the organization has collected more than 40,000 testimonies as of October 2024. Beyond crisis support, CFCV publishes authoritative legal guides (Livret juridique in standard, illustrated, and French Sign Language editions), runs professional training programs for police, justice, healthcare and social-work personnel, organizes public awareness campaigns, film screenings, and feminist demonstrations, and conducts original survey research used to inform legislative advocacy.

CFCV is led by President Emmanuelle Piet and operates with a lean staff of 11 employees, supplemented by volunteer listeners and coalition partners. The organization is financed primarily through credits from the French Ministry of Women's Rights (Ministère des Droits des femmes) and supplemented by individual public donations and member contributions — all services are provided at no cost to beneficiaries. CFCV is a member of a dense national and European coalition ecosystem that includes Fondation des Femmes, Fédération nationale solidarité femmes, Osez le Féminisme, Mouvement du Nid, Amicale du Nid, AIVI, Innocence en Danger, CLEF, CAP International, and isala asbl, and it is a member of the Coalition pour une loi intégrale contre les violences sexuelles, which advances 140 legislative proposals including the removal of the "devoir conjugal" from civil law.

The organization's strategic positioning combines direct victim service delivery with high-impact legal and policy advocacy, exemplified by its co-support of Mme W.'s February 2025 European Court of Human Rights case that condemned France for imposing the "devoir conjugal." CFCV operates only within France, runs no technology platform or commercial product, and is governed as an independent association with no parent company, subsidiaries, or external equity investors.
