#12 - Elpida Kokkota, “a survival kit to educate yourself”

We often think that committing to a cause goes without saying, that it is natural, like an innate gift.
The people you are about to hear from have all founded associations that support women in vulnerable situations.
For some, this commitment comes after a long journey.
For others, it comes after an event in their lives, a specific experience - a turning point, a revelation to oneself and others.

Souvent, on imagine que l’engagement au service d'une cause est inné. Qu’il va de soi, qu’il est évident.
Les personnes que vous allez entendre ont toutes fondé une association qui soutient des femmes en situation de vulnérabilité.
Pour certains, cet engagement arrive après un long cheminement.
Pour d’autres, après un événement qui s’est produit dans leurs vies, qu’ils ont vécu dans leur chair… Un déclic. Une révélation à soi et pour les autres.

En co-production avec le Fonds L'Oréal pour les Femmes, "Se révéler" raconte le parcours de celles et ceux qui, chaque jour, contribuent à changer la société.
