What Osez le Féminisme ! does

Osez le Féminisme ! (OLF) is a French non-profit feminist advocacy association founded in 2009 and headquartered in Paris, operating under association loi 1901 status with a universalist, secular, progressive, and abolitionist orientation. The organization pursues gender equality and the eradication of sexual and gender-based violence through three main levers: legislative advocacy (leading the Coalition féministe et enfantiste pour une loi-cadre intégrale of 120+ organizations with 140 draft proposals), grassroots community organizing through local chapters (antennes) across France, and public-facing education via campaigns, publications, and events. OLF's product surface includes a journal and webzine, the FéministCamp weekend training event, the FéminisTalk podcast, school-based educational interventions, self-defense workshops, multiple published books, and a 2026 short film on pornography.

OLF's business model is membership-based and donation-funded: supporters pay annual adhesion fees and the organization solicits donations through the HelloAsso platform. There are no disclosed pricing tiers, and revenue figures are not publicly reported. Its go-to-market motion is community-led, centered on member recruitment, petition drives (e.g., the 270,000-signature comprehensive law petition), public demonstrations such as the July 2026 march against sexual violence, coalition mobilization, and earned media through press releases and open letters to government officials. Key segments served include women and girls affected by gender-based violence (primary), the general public and feminist supporters (secondary), and policymakers and parliamentarians (secondary). Notable leadership includes Secrétaire générale and porte-parole Maïna Cerniawsky and porte-parole Céline Piques, who serves as rapporteur on the Haut Conseil à l'Égalité report on rape.
