Les Dévalideuses are a French feminist collective, focused on fighting for disabled women within feminism.[1][2][3] Led by Céline Extenso, the collective was founded in October 2019 to fight the marginalisation of disabled women within the feminist movement.[4] The idea to form the group had started after the NousToutes public demonstrations in late 2018, in which the Dévalideuses founders noted a significant lack of visibility of disabled women within the movement despite the significant rates of violence faced by disabled women.[5]
In January 2020, the collective ran a social media campaign under the hashtag #JarrêteLeValidisme to raise awareness of ableism.[6]
In February 2020, the collective signed an open letter with over 50 other prominent feminist activists and organisations condemning "the import of transphobia into French feminism."[7]
In April 2021, they published a manifesto in Mediapart, describing themselves as anti-ableist, feminist, and intersection, as well as aiming to work for public awareness and radical activism.[8]
