Ludivine Malle, champion of artistic roller skating, takes part in a round table dedicated to fighting sexual violence in the sporting world.

On Monday 2 November, the Loire-Atlantique department hosted a round table dedicated to sexual violence within sports organisations. The event is part of the exhibition “Figure libres, Figures imposées”, presented at the Hôtel du Département in Nantes. The initiative aims to break the silence and alert the public to phenomena often concealed in clubs and federations.

At the heart of this event, Ludivine Malle, a champion of artistic roller skating, shares her journey with the audience. A victim of sexual violence during her adolescence, between the ages of 13 and 17, she has chosen to become involved in awareness-raising. Her personal testimony highlights the trauma suffered by many young athletes and underlines the importance of speaking out to help victims rebuild their lives.

The exhibition accompanying this round table extends the prevention and reflection approach. Until Wednesday 25 November, mediation sessions are organised specifically for third-year middle school students. These meetings aim to educate a new generation about the mechanisms of violence and to strengthen the protection of young athletes in their daily practice environment.

This mobilisation in Nantes is part of a national dynamic aimed at reforming sports structures and protecting minors. By combining the worlds of art, sport and education, the organisers hope to create a safer ecosystem where reports are encouraged and taken seriously. The end of this exhibition period will mark the end of this cycle of actions, but the commitment against violence remains a continuous priority for the associations involved.
