Nous Toutes

Nous Toutes is a French women's rights organization, part of a larger collective of groups, that has recently filed a legal complaint against French First Lady Brigitte Macron. This action stems from a video that surfaced showing Macron using a derogatory and sexist slur to describe feminist activists who were protesting at a performance by actor Ary Abittan. Abittan was previously accused of rape, although the case was later dropped due to lack of evidence. The activists, some wearing masks of Abittan, disrupted his show, shouting accusations. Macron's team claims she intended to criticize the activists' 'radical method' of protest. The incident has sparked outrage among French feminists, celebrities, and politicians, highlighting ongoing tensions surrounding accusations of sexual assault and the role of public figures in addressing such issues. The lawsuit, supported by 343 women, a symbolic number in French feminism, underscores the group's commitment to challenging perceived sexism and defending women's rights.
