At the Maison des Femmes, women victims of violence are cared for. Elsewhere, they are threatened, brutalized, raped, mutilated, their suffering ignored. Here, they are listened to, supported, helped and believed. Diane, Manon, Inès, Awa and the others will give them a helping hand until they can stand up again. As a team. Even if it means risking their own equilibrium.
