Collectif Némésis is a French women’s organization founded in 2019 by Alice Cordier. Describing themselves as "identitarian feminists," they position their brand of feminism around the belief that there is a direct link between mass immigration, Islam, and violence against women. 

The group is highly controversial and sits at the center of the French culture wars over the meaning of feminism. 

Core Ideology & Activism

  • Anti-Immigration Focus: They frequently stage protests and online campaigns arguing that non-European immigrants and Muslim men are disproportionately responsible for sexual assaults and violence against women in France. 
  • Rejection of Intersectional Feminism: They actively protest against mainstream, left-wing feminist movements in France. They argue that traditional feminists ignore the plight of women in marginalized/immigrant communities. 
  • Symbolic Action: Their methods often include street protests—such as burning headscarves—confronting other feminist groups on International Women’s Day, and holding rallies to demand harsher punishments for male offenders, regardless of nationality. 

Public Perception

  • The Far-Right Link: Political scientists and left-wing organizations classify Némésis as an extreme-right, far-right, or "femonationalist" group. Critics accuse them of appropriating feminist causes and sexual violence awareness purely to demonize immigrants and foreigners. 
  • Clashes: They are widely ostracized by mainstream French feminist collectives, often needing police escorts at public marches to prevent altercations with opposing activists. 
  • Mainstream Debates: As immigration and national security have intensified as political issues in France, the group has gained broader visibility and occasionally received rhetorical support from right-wing or conservative political figures
