Coalition of Feminist Groups Demands Comprehensive Law Against Sexual Violence
A coalition of fifty organizations calls for a sweeping legal reform to address the systemic issue of sexual violence in France.
- The coalition, including prominent groups like the Planning Familial and Osez le Féminisme, has proposed 130 measures to combat sexual violence.
- Key proposals include fighting online rape culture and ensuring minors cannot access pornographic content.
- The coalition highlights that 94% of rape cases were dismissed in 2021, despite a 164% increase in complaints from 2018 to 2022.
- An investment of 2.6 billion euros per year is deemed necessary to effectively tackle sexual, physical, and domestic violence.
- Nationwide rallies are planned to support victims and demand legislative action, with gatherings in major cities like Paris, Lyon, and Marseille.
