Ni Putes Ni Soumises: A Women's March

February, 1st - March 8th 2003. Ten young women, old from 22 to 28 years old, accompanied by two boys, all resulting from the "hot" districts, started a walk across France with a strong slogan, "neither bitch, nor submissive". This movement is born from the Women's General States of districts, in the Sorbonne (in January 2002). They started from Vitry-Sur-Seine, where Sohane, 17 years old, was burnt sharp in front of a dustbins room. They finished their walk in Paris on march, 8th, 2003, for the great manifestation, the "day of the woman". They passed through 21 Parisian suburbs and provincial towns. During their tour, they met many personalities, of which François Hollande, Jean-Louis Borloo and Jean-Pierre Raffarin. With their fight against discrimination, they end to build a new hope for young women in hot district.
