The city of Lunel is making the fight against domestic violence and violence against women a communal cause for the 2026-2032 mandate with its new 'Zero Violence' identity. The aim is to strengthen coordination among prevention, security, health, and social support actors to build a collective and sustainable response, improve information dissemination, encourage the identification of violent situations, and help victims find assistance more easily.
To this end, the municipality provides several useful numbers: 3919 (Violences Femmes Info), 119 (Allô Enfance en Danger), 17 (Police secours), 114 (SMS Emergency), and the online reporting platform arretonslesviolences.gouv.fr.
Local businesses are also participating by displaying 'Refuge' stickers on their shop windows, creating a network of accessible points of contact for individuals feeling threatened or in difficulty. 'Zero Violence' stickers will also be distributed to the public to show collective support.
To help children express themselves more easily, the city of Lunel is introducing the 'Boîte à mots' (Word Box), led by Souad Gimenez, municipal councilor for Youth. Five boxes will be placed in various locations throughout the city and collected twice weekly by municipal police officers.
