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.
