International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women
  • In 2024, France recorded the tragic statistic of 107 women killed by their partners or ex-partners, highlighting the ongoing crisis of violence against women in the country. This alarming figure underscores the urgent need for effective measures to combat domestic violence and protect vulnerable individuals.
  • The high incidence of femicides in France raises significant concerns about the safety and well-being of women, prompting calls for stronger legal protections and societal changes to address the root causes of such violence. The issue remains a critical focus for policymakers and advocacy groups.
  • The rise in violence against women is often linked to broader societal issues, including the influence of masculinist ideologies that perpetuate harmful attitudes towards women. Additionally, the increasing rates of poverty in France may exacerbate these issues, creating a complex interplay between economic hardship and gender-based violence.
