Alternatives Non-Violentes

The magazine provides news about MAN (Movement for a Non-Violent Alternative): news briefs; an article entitled ‘The Essentials’ on a fundamental aspect of non-violence; a profile of a woman or man whose life has been marked by a commitment to non-violence; the article ‘Agir au quotidien’ (Acting on a daily basis), which presents a meaningful anecdote; etc. Non-violence is not a passive attitude but an effective alternative, based on the requirement for consistency between the end and the means. Non-violence has nothing to do with passivity or resignation. https://www.alternatives-non-violentes.org/
