To prevent sexual harassment →
Order an Angelot is a protocol aiming to prevent sexual harassment and sexual violence in bars and festive or social events. It allows anyone who fears for their safety to ask for help without having to justify themselves. If you're ever in trouble, feel free to order "an Angelot" from anyone wearing the "Order an Angelot" button on the main Festival site.
You'll be taken care of safely. Fierté Montréal is proud to be the first festival in Québec to get the accreditation "Order an Angelot" thanks to the financial support of the Government of Quebec and the support of the Collectif social, the organization behind this project.

Against sexual harassment in the cultural milieu
Artists participating in the Fierté Montréal Festival who have experienced or witnessed harassment or sexual violence will be able to have access to free, confidential, and independent legal services, thanks to the partnership between Fierté Montréal and L'Aparté.
L’Aparté is a project by Juripop, a non-profit organization that has been working for 15 years to improve access to justice in Quebec. It aims to provide free, confidential, and independent legal services to individuals who are victims or witnesses of sexual violence or psychological or sexual harassment in the workplace.

Two Safer Spaces →
Several 2SLGBTQIA+ community organizations take part in putting in place two Safer Spaces available to festival-goers: the Youth Space (14-25 years old) and the QTBIPOC Space (Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous & People of Color).
These are calm places, far from the crowds, where folks can go to decompress, gather, and benefit, if necessary, from active listening services offered by peer support workers with an anti-oppressive approach and from communities.
The Safer Spaces are accessible on the main site at the Olympic Park's Esplanade.
