At the Women’s Center of Saint-Denis, women who are victims of violence are cared for. Elsewhere, they are threatened, brutalized, raped, and mutilated, their suffering ignored. Here, they are listened to, supported, helped, believed. Here, Diane, Manon, Inès, Awa, and the others will lend them a hand until they can stand up again. As a team. Even if it means risking their own balance.
