Overview
- Large demonstrations took place across the country on November 22, with organisers counting 50,000 people in Paris calling for urgent state measures.
- Campaigners cited NousToutes’ tally of 149 women killed so far in 2025 and pressed for guaranteed financing of services and prevention.
- Judicial actions advanced in several recent cases: the Besançon suspect admitted the shooting before being charged and jailed; in Beaucaire a 61-year-old was charged and detained over his companion’s death; near Grenoble a man was charged and remanded after his partner’s body was found in a burned car.
- Advocacy groups and unions warned about shrinking subsidies for support associations, as reporting also highlighted the role of trained police and embedded social workers in taking complaints and opening inquiries on partner-violence reports.
- Political tensions were visible in Paris, where antifascist activists confronted the Némésis collective and police made three arrests.
