Rape Victim Claire Geronomi Founds Support Group After Lack of Support
Claire Geronomi, one of two women raped by Jordy Goukara in Paris, faced criticism and lack of support after the assault. Despite this, she founded Eclats de femme, an association supporting assaulted females without moral judgement based on the attacker's profile. Goukara's trial sparked controversy. President of Fondation des Femmes, Anne-Cécile Mailfert, posted a political attack stigmatising the victims. Goukara's aggressive behaviour in court, including flexing his muscles, shocked the public and judges. The victims, including Claire Geronomi, were satisfied with the 18-year sentence, which included a permanent ban from French territory. However, they faced criticism and accusations due to Goukara's migrant profile. Claire Geronomi did not find the support she expected, leading her to found Eclats de femme. The case gained media and political attention, with Marlène Schiappa, former Macronist minister for gender equality, supporting Geronomi's stance on immigration and rape. Jordy Goukara was sentenced to 18 years in prison for raping two young women in Paris. Despite initial lack of support and criticism, the victims were satisfied with the sentence. Claire Geronomi's advocacy led to the establishment of Eclats de femme, an association supporting assaulted females without moral judgement based on the attacker's profile.
