“For several weeks now, testimonies of sexual violence in the circus world have been multiplying on social media. So much so that the national circus arts association, En Piste, has decided to launch, starting Tuesday with Juripop, a clinic “against harassment and violence in the circus community”. La Presse spoke with the instigators of Victims_Voices_Circus, a virtual space where the voices of many artists have been heard.”

Nearly 75 people attended the webinars on July 23, presented by L’Aparté and organized by En Piste, and nearly 40 people watched their recording shortly thereafter. Since then, we have made additional resources available to our community on our website.
This Tuesday, August 25, En Piste will hold a confidential and free clinic to support circus artists in their efforts to obtain help and advice. Anyone interested can register confidentially to attend a webinar with CAVAC and G.A.I.H.S.T, then discuss privately with a psychosocial worker or a criminal law attorney.
There will also be a second clinic, next Thursday, September 3, for organization managers, the details of which will be announced shortly.
