Ensemble pour les Femmes

The launch of an association which aims to support women in the "Democratic" Republic of Congo who, have been raped and abandoned, as a result of the war took place today. As well as the Mayor and the Vice President of the Pyrénées Orientales, there was a speaker from London who works with young people on issues of violence and a documentary film maker from Barcelona. The room was beautifully decorated, there was an abundance of good things to eat and drink and a lively buzz of conversation. It will be an uphill struggle but women know all about that!
