Biography
Early life and career
Marie-Laurence Josselyn Lassègue was born on 1 March 1955 in Port-au-Prince.[1] She spent her childhood in Zaire after her parents fled the dictatorship of François Duvalier.[2] After graduating with her baccalauréat, she continued her studies in France.
She earned a master's degree in literature from the University of Franche-Comté and a degree in legal science from the Université Publique du Sud in Les Cayes, Haiti.[3] While in France, Lassègue joined the feminist movement.
Following the rape of two of her friends, she became a volunteer worker with SOS femmes battues violées in Strasbourg from 1975 to 1978. At the age of 25, she co-founded the Solidarité femmewomen's shelter in Besançon, which ran from 1980 to 1983.[4]
