Les Affolé-e-s de la Frange (LAF) is a feminist, popular-education association based in Limoges, France, founded in late 2017. It aims to rebuild caring social bonds between people and to fight oppression, violence and discrimination linked to patriarchy, capitalism and imperialism. Its work includes the Lanterne and Angela schemes, in which trained businesses and public venues offer safe refuge after sexual or sexist assault; a solidarity hosting network (Maëlys) for people fleeing domestic violence; self-defence workshops; safe-zone training for festivals and events; and social evenings such as Meet & Play. LAF also co-organises the Limoges Pride march, is a founding member of the LGBTI LimBow centre, and runs a local office in the Moulin de la Garde in Limoges.
