Date, place

The pride march will take place on saturday, june 20.

It will start at 2 P.M. at the square Verdrel.

in the same square, there will also be the pride village starting at 11 A.M., and concerts in the evening.

Mot d'ordre

Le mot d'ordre de cette année est "VIH : pas d'économies sur nos vies".

En France, l’épidémie du VIH s’enracine : le budget Lecornu réduit le financement des associations et des programmes de lutte contre le VIH, sabotant la prévention et les acteurs de terrain.

Les associations de lutte contre le VIH sont contraintes à des plans de licenciement massifs face aux baisses des subventions. Cela veut dire moins de maraudes, moins de prévention, moins de dépistages, et ce sont nos communautés qui trinquent.

L’austérité ne fait que favoriser les conditions qui créent de nouvelles contaminations, et nous observons une hausse de 40% des diagnostics chez les 15-24 ans.

En France, 200 000 personnes vivent avec le VIH. 24 000 l’ignorent encore.

À l'international aussi, l’Etat nous abandonne : le gouvernement refuse d’engager la France à fournir une contribution stable au Fond Mondial de Lutte contre le SIDA. Les USA, de leur côté, suspendent USAIDS, laissant mourir plus de 6 millions de personnes dans les 4 prochaines années.

Il est possible d’éradiquer le VIH d’ici 2030. Mais pour ça, il faut que les gouvernements s’engagent, et financent cette lutte. Et les financements mondiaux restent 30% en dessous du minimum nécessaire.

Nos vies ne doivent pas être des chiffres dans un budget, la mort de nos adelphes une économie de plus dans un système d’austérité.

Nous méritons mieux, nous exigeons mieux.
Chacun·e de nos mort·es doit nous révolter.

Pride March

The march will begin at Verdrel Square at 2 P.M.. Speeches will take place before the departure, and two giant flags (trans and rainbow) will be displayed on the parades.

A Fiertés Colorées truck will drive along the parade, with a DJ and a performer.

A disabled vehicle will be present.

A volunteer team will be present throughout the parade to distribute, as needed: water, sugar, cookies, disinfectant, and to contact the emergency services if necessary.

La Croix Rouge will ensure emergency medical care and will drive at the end of the procession.

Accessibility

FFP2 masks will be available for free all day at the Fiertés Colorées booths. Wearing them is highly, highly encouraged!

The speeches will be fully interpreted in French sign language (LSF) by the Liesse SCOP. The interpreter will be in front of the truck.

As in previous years, the small tourist train in Rouen will be part of the march, to transport people with reduced mobility and allow them to enjoy the pride march.

Please contact us if you plan to bring equipment over 20kg, so we can inform the driver.

A calm procession will be located at the end of the parade, away from the sound systems and the batucada. In case of any issues or if the calm is not respected, you can notify a volunteer so that we can intervene.

This year again, the Red Cross will follow the march with a rescue vehicle to assist anyone who is injured or facing difficulties. They will also be present at the village.

The volunteers from the backpack team can distribute earplugs, water, sugar, and cookies. If you need anything, feel free to ask them.

The pride village remains open during the march: it is therefore not necessary to march to enjoy the day!

Goodies

As in previous years, Fiertés Colorées will sell flags and badges at the Pride Village.

Not only does it allow you to adorn yourself in all your colors, but it also helps us fund the organization of the Pride in Rouen.

The flags are €7.

The badges are €3 each, or €5 for 3. We'll reveal the visuals soon!
