Ligue pour le relèvement de la moralité publique
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The League for the Recovery of Public Morality (French: Ligue pour le relèvement de la moralité publique, LRMP) is a French federation of local associations working for the respect of what it considered "good morals". Created in 1883,[1] by Tommy Fallot,[2] the league supports the abolition of prostitution and is opposed to pornography, alcohol and gambling.[3] Initially the league opposed alcohol and pornography,[4] but after Fallot met with English anti-prostitution activist Josephine Butler, the end of prostitution was added to its aims.[2] It initiated many actions against films before self-dissolving in 1946. The league published a monthly magazine, The Social Recovery, from 1893. In 1946, it succeeded La Rénovation, and reformed as the Cartel d'action sociale et morale (Cartel of social and moral action).
