Overview
- The questionnaire, conducted with Disclose from June 24 to October 8, collected 207 accounts from victims, witnesses and relatives regarding alleged abuses by officers.
- Sixty percent of responses described sexual violence, including 11% reporting rape and 25% reporting sexual harassment, with additional claims of coercion and misuse of authority.
- Forty‑two percent of incidents reportedly occurred when people sought help from police or gendarmerie, including 35% during the filing of complaints related to violence.
- Alleged perpetrators were overwhelmingly men, with 48.9% identified as national police officers, 18% as gendarmes and 15% as municipal police.
- Testimonies disproportionately involved women and marginalized people, and NousToutes stresses the study is not statistically representative and likely undercounts cases.
