150 Associations Demand Accountability from Interior Minister on Violence Against Women and Children

A broad coalition of 150 associations is demanding accountability from Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin, calling for a firm commitment from political leaders to address violence against women and children. The group, including the Fondation des femmes, held a press conference Friday to announce their ongoing efforts and to urge continued public demonstrations.

During the conference, the coalition explicitly called for the "immediate prioritization of a comprehensive framework law against violence against women and children, endowed with substantial resources." This demand highlights a perceived urgency and inadequacy in current measures, pushing for a more robust legislative response.

Protests are set to continue, with the coalition encouraging weekly demonstrations every Monday in front of courthouses. This sustained public action aims to maintain pressure on the government and ensure the issue remains at the forefront of political discourse. The coordinated effort signifies a unified front seeking significant legislative and policy changes to protect vulnerable populations.
