Founded in 2007, the AEC (Les Enfants d’Arc en Ciel) association aims to support LGBT people in their parenting projects, raise awareness and help LGBT families defend their legal and social rights. It also offers a welcoming space where families, parents and children can meet and be listened to, organising various events and activities. Thanks to donations, the association provides financial assistance to individuals in their legal proceedings, thereby advancing the rights of LGBT families.

The FRISSE association is the result of a participatory programme, whose acronym, âFemmes, RĂ©duction des rISques et SExualitĂ©â (Women, Risk Reduction and Sexuality), specifies the framework: âWomenâ refers to all those who identify with this gender; âRisk Reductionâ refers to an approach based on dialogue and exchange to protect oneself and others; âSexualityâ encompasses all sexual practices and orientations.
Its main objective is to promote the health of all women, men and others. It helps socially marginalised people access their rights and healthcare, and fights against gender-based and sexual violence and all forms of discrimination that seriously harm the physical, mental and sexual health of all people. It takes into account the effects of social relations of sex, gender, class and race on the health (including ableism, fatphobia, ageism and youthism) of everyone.
The association organises training courses for medical and social workers, future professionals and collectives. It runs awareness-raising activities on health and inclusion at forums and gatherings, and regularly offers an inclusive dance workshop.
