Theater & Conference: Together Against Cybersexism!

On the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, the City of Montpellier invites you to an exceptional evening combining art, commitment, and practical advice.

The program includes: a powerful performance followed by a discussion to understand and take action against online violence.

7:00 PM - 8:15 PM | Performance "Backwards Tales" by Typhaine D

Feminist author and actress Typhaine D reinterprets the tales of our childhood to deconstruct gender stereotypes and mechanisms of domination. A powerful, committed, and liberating show!

Familiar characters from our childhood (Snow White, Cinderella, the "Big Red Riding Hood", Scheherazade, etc.) come to tell their own stories in the Universal Feminine, a language where the masculine no longer prevails! Navigating through various emotions, styles, and registers of language (from slam to poetry, from humorous stand-up to song), they rewrite their narratives, question the common imaginations we hold that impact our daily lives, and, of course, raise concrete questions regarding gender equality, girls-boys dynamics, and the fight against sexist and sexual violence. These heroines, finally empowering and valued, resemble the women of today, offering paths to emancipation and care, self-esteem and sisterhood, tools for understanding the mechanisms of violence and oppression, while encouraging everyone to engage for more justice and equality.

8:20 PM - 9:15 PM | Conference & Discussion: Protecting Yourself and Upholding Your Rights

A victim of cyberharassment due to her engaged speeches, Typhaine D has waged an exemplary legal battle that led to the conviction of her harassers. Drawing on her personal experience and the framework of French law, this interactive conference-debate will provide you with concrete keys to:

• Define and identify sexist and sexual cyberharassment.

• Protect yourself on social media and the internet.
