Maison des Femmes

Paris

A donation from ICAP Charity Day will fund the Coralis unit, which is designed to support women who have been victims of sexual violence. It enables them to receive urgent forensic examinations and the collection of evidence through protective samples.

Charity Overview

La Maison des femmes de Saint-Denis (MDF) provides care and support to women living in vulnerable conditions or enduring violence. Part of the public hospital, MDF offers multidisciplinary care in a secure, independent facility, across four units: (1) family planning and reproductive health, (2) female genital mutilation, (3) violence, and (4) CORALIS, a walk-in clinic for women who have been raped or sexually assaulted. In addition to clinical services, the MDF provides access to social services and legal support, physical therapy and multiple workshops aimed at improving self-esteem. Patients can also file complaints on-site during a weekly police presence.
