CIDFF Orne

What CIDFF Orne does

CIDFF Orne (Centre d'Information sur les Droits des Femmes et des Familles de l'Orne), also operating as Info Femmes Orne and CIDFF61, is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) founded on November 16, 1994, and headquartered at 17 rue Joseph Morin in Flers, Normandie. It is part of the national FNCIDFF network of 98 CIDFFs and 2,300 proximity information points across metropolitan France and overseas territories. The association provides free, confidential information, listening, and orientation services primarily to women and families in the Orne department, addressing legal rights, gender-based violence, employment, and family issues. Core service modules include Accès au droit (legal information on family, labor, immigration, and criminal law), Lutte contre les violences sexistes (victim support), Éducation et Citoyenneté (school interventions), Soutien psychologique (psychological support and speaking groups for violence victims), Service emploi (professional integration), Malles aux livres (book lending collections on gender equality themes), Expositions (traveling exhibitions), and Offre de formation (professional training). Services are delivered through the main Flers office (Monday to Friday 9h-12h and 14h-17h), 16 legal access points across 16 cities in the Orne department, phone and video consultations, 25 new rural listening points within France Services centers established since November 2022, a weekly Thursday afternoon presence at the Flers police station, and information stands at E.Leclerc commercial centers in Flers, Argentan, Alençon, and L'Aigle. The organization has no proprietary technology platform and operates as a human-delivered service association rather than a technology company.

The association is funded through state grants, support from decentralized state services, local authorities, institutional partners (Préfecture de l'Orne, Ministry for Gender Equality, DGCS, CAF, CPAM), donations eligible for a 66% income tax reduction under Article 200 of the French General Tax Code, and membership fees of €10 for individuals and €40 for organizations (January 1 to December 31 cycle). All services to beneficiaries are provided free of charge. The multidisciplinary team of approximately 7 staff includes a President, Director, two jurists, one psychologist, a reception manager, a gender equality project manager, and a professional integration advisor. The association operates under a state-entrusted mission of general interest and is governed by an independent Board of Directors, with FNCIDFF providing coordination, documentation, training, and national representation without exercising ownership control. Notable recent program expansions include the rural women's rights access campaign funded by the Agence nationale de la cohésion des territoires, participation in the national #InfoJeunesProstitution campaign targeting minors, and delivery of training reaching 300 law enforcement referents in Normandy on handling women victims of violence.

The organization maintains a diversified partnership ecosystem that includes FNCIDFF, Préfecture de l'Orne, CAF de l'Orne, CPAM de l'Orne, IRSA, YSOS (L'Aigle day care for violence victims), Coallia (social housing in Flers), AJCM (Alençon), France Services, Police Nationale (Commissariat de Flers), Gendarmerie Nationale, Association L'Étape, Talents Hauts publishing house, and the École des Filles / La Cité fertile venue for the national feminist festival.
