10:21 a.m. : Since a law of 2019, public employers are obliged to provide a reporting system for moral harassment, discrimination and sexist and sexual violence. This guide should make it easier to collect these reports. It is structured in two parts: the first focuses on the definition of this violence; the second, on the prevention of these facts, the support of the victims and the sanctions against the perpetrators.
10:21 a.m. : The Ministry of Public Service is today publishing a guide on gender-based and sexual violence, intended for public employers. Since 2018, barely a hundred sanctions (from a simple warning to dismissal) have been pronounced each year against state civil servants for this type of act. “There is a real appropriation of the devices [de signalement] to bring”recognizes the administration.

10:23 : This model could inspire France, where the number of feminicides is not declining, despite the acceleration of public policies to combat domestic violence. A parliamentary mission on the specialization of courts in France on domestic violence is underway. But the subject is far from unanimous. I explain why here.
10:23 : “We must stop over-victimizing the victims and make their passage before a court as stressful and traumatic as possible.”
Accompaniment is the key word of this reform, which does not modify the law already in force on this violence, but is accompanied by additional financial means and more prosecutors. The main objective is to restore victims’ confidence in the justice system.
10:24 a.m. : It all started in 2018, when a cross-partisan group of women politicians decided to tackle this systemic problem. A committee of experts was then set up and formulated, based on dozens of testimonies from victims, judges, lawyers, police officers and social workers, some 190 recommendations. Among these, the creation of a specialized tribunal. A little less than a year later, the Quebec Parliament unanimously voted for its creation.
10:24 a.m. : Since the start of the school year, ten Quebec courts have set up a special system to deal with domestic violence and gender-based and sexual violence. I tell you about this experiment in this article, on the occasion of the international day for the elimination of violence against women.
