The French streaming community is coming together for the second edition of FURAX, a charity streaming event taking place from April 5-7, 2024, in the 20th arrondissement of Paris. The event, organized by streamers Nat'Ali and Joul and co-organized with the association Afrogameuses, aims to combat sexist violence and cyberviolence. All funds raised will be donated to the association Féministes contre le cyberharcèlement.

FURAX raised over 57,000€ in 2023 and was awarded an additional 30,000€ from Twitch during the TwitchCon in Paris. This year, the event will feature content creators such as Modiie, Mamapaprika, and Horty_, and will include gaming sessions, panel discussions, and workshops on the topic of cyberviolence. The goal is to provide resources and support for victims and to raise awareness among the public.
