The delegate minister wants to develop everywhere “this ability to welcome this word which wants to be freed”. “Speech is freed” but “in rural areas, it’s much more complicatedbelieves Prisca Thevenot. We must be able to support associations which are everywhere in the territory.”

However, according to her, the State is already doing a lot in this area. “The State can and is doing more. The means are thereshe assures. In the current context, we can guarantee that not a single euro will be missing to support victims of violence against women.” She recalls that “concretely, in 2020, there were 30 million euros dedicated to the Ministry of Gender Equality, in charge in particular of this thorny subject.
