On the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, celebrated on November 25, Orly is launching a dedicated program for the awareness and prevention of sexist and sexual violence. This initiative, developed collaboratively by municipal departments committed to gender equality, aims to highlight various forms of violence, encourage awareness, and foster dialogue.

On Tuesday, November 25, an awareness evening will be held at the cultural center. It will begin at 7:15 PM with a performance by the Pop’n rock choir from the Municipal School of Arts, followed at 8:30 PM by the show « Des mots pour agir » (Words to Act).
