In the streets of Caen, an unexpected innovation is taking shape under the leadership of Quentin Duteil. This 34-year-old 3D modeler creates and distributes free alarm whistles to combat street harassment. Thanks to its double air outlet, the “relou repellent” emits an unpleasant sound, thus becoming a non-violent defense tool accessible to all.

An ordinary evening, a crazy idea
It all started during a typical evening in the bars of Caen. Quentin, aware of the dangers that await women at night, had the idea of designing a whistle no bigger than a thumb, but incredibly effective.
Discovering the plans for a whistle online, he decided to start manufacturing this defense object. This whistle, far from looking like an ordinary whistle, has become a symbol of safety for many women.

A success driven by solidarity
The distribution of the first whistles quickly gained momentum. In Caen bars, like Moon & Sons, the whistles were torn off in a few days. Word of mouth did the rest.
Social networks were a crucial vector for this initiative. Orders poured in not only from France, but also from Europe, proving the impact of this little invention.
A selfless commitment
Quentin is committed not to make a profit from this initiative. The whistle is sold at cost price, symbolizing his desire to make it accessible to everyone.

Refusing to patent his invention, he prepared to make the plans available in open source. This approach shows his conviction: the fight against street harassment cannot be monetized.

The future of “stupid pushback”
With the help of his partner and his friends, Quentin continues to produce and distribute the whistles. Their mission is clear: to provide a defense tool to those who need it.
As the idea spreads, it remains to be seen how this innovation will be adopted by other communities. Could Quentin's initiative inspire other inventions for personal security?
By offering this whistle to everyone, Quentin Duteil asks an essential question: how far would we go to protect our safety and that of others?
