INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS
In 2025, FXB France operated South Africa, in Mongolia, Rwanda and in Namibia with teams composed of 100 local professionals who work hand in hand with the communities we support. Our mission is to bring about lasting change in the countries where we intervene to eradicate extreme poverty, promote access to fundamental rights and social justice and work to adapt to climate change in local populations.
PROJECT IN FRANCE
FXB France is committed to improving the prevention, screening and treatment of sexual violence against women asylum seekers.
Context
A study published in September 2023 (The Lancet) revealed that women asylum seekers are 18 times more likely to be raped in their host country than the general population. In addition, more than three quarters of them were victims of sexual violence prior to their arrival.
The Government, the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs, in fact, had the protection of migrant women against sexual violence as a priority issue. However, the effective means of such protection are not known. There is no study comparing the effectiveness of intervention to prevent and respond appropriately to sexual violence in this population..
Our action in France
Multiprofessional Health House
Faced with the urgency of the situation, in 2024 FXB France initiated a partnership with Dr. Jérémy Khouani's teams at the Maison de Santé Multiprofessionnel (MSP) Peyssonnel in Marseille to support migrant women who have suffered sexual violence.
This project aims to provide them with appropriate psychological, medical and gynaecological support.
As a first step, FXB supports a review of the literature on the prevention of sexual violence, which will form the basis for a European study assessing the effectiveness of multidisciplinary intervention with these women.
The second phase of this partnership is the evaluation of a multidisciplinary intervention protocol for the detection and management of sexual violence among women in France for less than two years and its implementation in six cities in France (Nantes, Bordeaux, Paris, Toulouse, Lyon, Marseille).
The project is based on a rigorous and multidisciplinary scientific approach, specific to the FXB methodology.
Beyond clinical action, this programme helps to break the cycles of trauma and insecurity that affect many women and girls, often underage mothers, who are particularly vulnerable to violence. However, the programme's ambition goes beyond the national level: it aims to become a reference model, replicable at the European level, and to inspire structural changes in public policies for the protection and health of migrant women.
ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE FIRST FXB FUNDING IN FRANCE (1991 and 1997)
In the continuation of the FXB Home Palliative Care Centre, born from the will of Albina du Boisrouvray in Valais in 1992, she undertook to replicate in Paris, in 1997, this model successfully tested in Switzerland in order to allow people who wished to die at home.
The FXB Centre in Paris offers palliative home care to people in irreversible stages of illness, when curative medicine proves to be helpless. Its intervention is a global approach. It combines daily nursing care, psychological and practical support, both to the sick person and to those around him. Albina also wanted to alleviate the moral pain of the sick and their families and it was with this in mind that she wanted to set up mourning groups that are indispensable pillars of the action of the multidisciplinary team. In 2001, she was awarded the Order of the Legion of Honor, a knight, by the French government for her innovative work in the field of palliative care at home.
Starting in 2003, the Croix Saint-Simon Foundation and FXB carried out a reconciliation of their structures which resulted in the integration of all palliative care activities into the Croix Saint-Simon Foundation, including the François-Xavier Bagnoud documentation centre where they are continued and developed in accordance with the principles and values that have always guided FXB's action.
In 1991, the FXB Foundation donated a fire truck to the firefighters of Lévis-Saint-Nom near Paris, some of whom were childhood friends of François-Xavier Bagnoud.
