What CIDFF de Paris does

CIDFF de Paris (Association CIDFF de Paris) is a French non-profit association (association loi 1901) founded in 2006 and headquartered at 17 rue Jean Poulmarch, 75010 Paris. It operates as the Paris chapter of the national CIDFF (Centre d'Information sur les Droits des Femmes et des Familles) network under FNCIDFF and the regional federation FR-CIDFF Île-de-France. With 21 employees, the organization provides free, in-person services across three core verticals: legal information and access to rights (Pôle Juridique), employment support and professional reintegration (with specialized programs MIMOSA and THOM), and the fight against sexist, sexual, and domestic violence. Services are delivered through 11 permanence locations across Paris and embedded presences in three hospital Maisons des Femmes (Bichat, Salpêtrière, Hôtel Dieu), UMJ units, and the Ministry of Culture, plus dedicated permanences for LGBTQIA+ couples and elderly women victims (Projet FAV).

The organization also runs a QUALIOPI-certified professional training arm (Catalogue de formation 2026) that delivers gender-equality and violence-prevention training to professionals — 262 professionals trained across 26 sessions and 176.5 hours in 2024 — with content tailored to enterprises and territorial collectivities. CIDFF de Paris holds formal agrément from the French Ministry of Justice (authorizing court-ordered victim protection management) and an agreement from the Ministry of Education to conduct school-based prevention. The business model is non-commercial: all services to beneficiaries are free and unconditional, and operating funding flows from public grants and subsidies (Ministry of Equality, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Education, Ville de Paris, Préfet d'Île-de-France), supplemented by training sales enabled by QUALIOPI and voluntary donations. There is no proprietary technology stack, software platform, or AI component; the value proposition rests entirely on human expertise, physical presence, and institutional licenses.

Direct peers

• Femmes Solidaires: National French association fighting against violence against women and promoting gender equality, with local committees including in Paris. Provides parallel legal aid, awareness, and victim accompaniment services — a direct functional peer for women's rights support.
• Fondation des Femmes: French foundation funding and supporting initiatives against gender-based violence and for women's rights. Operates emergency funding, legal aid, and advocacy programs addressing many of the same needs as CIDFF de Paris, with a fundraising/grants intermediary model.
• CIDFF de Seine-Saint-Denis (CIDFF 93): Sibling CIDFF chapter in Seine-Saint-Denis (93), co-developing the MIMOSA employment program with CIDFF de Paris. Operates the identical legal-information / employment / violence-support model under the same national federation, serving the adjacent Île-de-France department.
• Centre Hubertine Auclert: Île-de-France regional resource center for gender equality; coordinates the regional police training project that CIDFF de Paris delivers. Directly comparable mission (gender equality, GBV training, professional capacity building) at the regional coordination level.
• Planning Familial (Le Planning Familial): Major French NGO providing sexual/reproductive health information, gender equality advocacy, and support services across France. Overlaps with CIDFF de Paris on gender equality, legal information, and violence support, but with a wider national footprint and reproductive-health focus.
• FR-CIDFF Île-de-France: Regional federation coordinating all CIDFF chapters in the Île-de-France region. Sets standards and resource allocation for the network of which CIDFF de Paris is the Paris chapter — the closest organizational peer at the regional coordination layer.

Emerging players

• Du pain et des Roses: Association co-developing the MIMOSA employment remobilization program with CIDFF de Paris using ecological floral art. A small specialized partner/peer in the gender-focused employment reintegration space.
• Maison des Femmes (Bichat / Salpêtrière / Hôtel Dieu): Hospital-embedded centers for women victims of violence where CIDFF de Paris already maintains a permanence. Provides medical, psychological, and social support for victims; complementary rather than directly competitive, sharing the same hospital referral channels.

Regional players

• Association Européenne contre les Violences faites aux Femmes (ADVIVO): France-based association against violence against women providing legal support, training, and awareness — overlapping service mix with CIDFF de Paris, with national coverage rather than Paris-specific.

Broad incumbents

• FNCIDFF (Fédération Nationale des CIDFF): National federation of all CIDFF centers across France. Provides standards, training, and political representation for the entire CIDFF network including CIDFF de Paris — broader incumbent shaping the operating environment.
