Women intend to be heard during this campaign for the 2022 presidential election: 285 women engaged in politics, the vast majority of the left, signed a platform on Monday, November 15 in The world titled “For a political #MeToo: Sexual abusers have no place in the 2022 elections”. The text, signed by renowned politicians such as Sandrine Rousseau (EELV), Laurence Rossignol (PS) or Danièle Obono (LFI), notes in particular that “three candidates or potentially candidates for the Elysee are already cited in numerous testimonies of sexual assault”. Without commenting on their guilt, the signatories believe that the maintenance of their candidacies despite these accusations illustrates “how indifferent to them is the condition of women and victims”.
The question of women also arises on the right, with in particular the candidacy of Valérie Pécresse, but also on the side of the National Rally Marine Le Pen in the face of the remarks of the far-right polemicist Eric Zemmour towards women.
Also in this episode, the voting intentions among female voters with Jean-Jérôme Bertolus. Focus also on the positions held by women in campaign teams. Finally, women and political power: where are we on the planet? With Claude Guibal, major reporter for the international editorial staff of Radio France, we take stock of the heads of state or heads of government who have never been so numerous. But we are starting from a long way because out of 197 countries in the world, only 21 are headed by women.
