To avoid forgetting, at any cost
Light4Women is a movement for the defence of women’s rights around the world. Our ambition is to express our solidarity and our support for all oppressed women; to highlight the actions of those who are already committed to them, but also to rally, with a simple and universal gesture, the largest possible number of people to actively defend women’s rights and to influence national and international authorities.
This movement belongs to all of us who are outraged by violence against women and who, with a simple gesture, want to join a community dedicated to global action against the abuse of women. Simply join us. Every woman across the world deserves our support …

Our "raison d'être"
We are their voice
We no longer wish to stand idly by in the face of the injustice suffered by millions of women around the world. Silenced, mistreated, violated, mutilated, forced into mariage, deprived of education, excluded from public office, prevented from choosing their job or their clothes, prohibited from abortion, forbidden to take part in decisions…
To raise awareness, to mobilize, to inform, to rally and inspire the greatest number of supporters … This is what is within our reach and our global aim. We will not only take you to Afghanistan, Iran, India, Yemen, the Democratic Republic of Congo… but also to the United States, Europe and France.
There is still so much to do to change the lives of millions of women.
Join the movement #light4women !
