developed to mark this 50th anniversary. It symbolized the difficult path climbed by young victims of sexual violence to overcome their difficulties, accompanied by their backpack, the right tools and the necessary support. This ascent represented the courage and perseverance required to reach the summit and see the horizon of a better future.<\/p>\n<p>This symbol was used both during our therapy sessions with young people and by our prevention and training team, particularly in the imagery of the book One Step at a Time with Lou. This illustration also represented the peaks reached and to be reached by Marie-Vincent, progressively, to build a protective community and contribute to a world without violence.<br \/>\n<strong>Together, one step at a time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t\t<section class=\"text-standard section-block with-background beige-theme\" data-scroll-section>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row row-main\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"title title-2\">50th Anniversary Activities\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-start=\"1727\" data-end=\"1951\">Several initiatives marked the 50th anniversary, including the broadcast of an advertisement featuring the voice of our spokesperson, M\u00e9lissa D\u00e9sormeaux-Poulin, as well as various visibility and mobilization actions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1953\" data-end=\"2188\">These moments helped highlight Marie-Vincent&#8217;s history, strengthen ties with our communities and remind us of the importance of continuing our efforts to prevent sexual violence and support young victims.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t\t<section class=\"video-block section-block with-background cream-theme\" data-scroll-section>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row row-video\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 background\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<video class=\"video-loop\" autoplay muted playsinline loop poster=\"https:\/\/marie-vincent.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/hero-video-placeholder.jpg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<source src=\"https:\/\/marie-vincent.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/placeholder.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/video>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row row-main\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12 col-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Follow us on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/FondationMarieVincent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/fondationmarievincent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/fondationmarie-vincent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a> and subscribe to our newsletter to be at the forefront of our initiatives.<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<dialog class=\"dialog dialog-hero-video\" id=\"videoDialog69d1f845e9239\" data-video-overlay inert>\n\t\t<div class=\"dialog-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"dialog-content\" data-dialog-content>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"button dialog-close\" data-dialog-close>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-close\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"sr-only\">dialog.close.text<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<!-- If necessary, this section is used for extra content that you want outside of the overflow-y on .dialog-content -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"extra-content\"><div class=\"video-player\" data-video-player>\n\t<iframe class=\"video-player-iframe\" data-video-player-iframe title=\"video_player.iframe.title\" data-video-autoplay allow=\"accelerometer;
