Seven leaders of feminist associations ask the candidates for the presidential election “an emergency plan” including “ten ambitious measures”, in a column published on Saturday February 5 in the Sunday newspaper (paid article). This text is signed, among others, by Anne-Cécile Mailfert (Women’s Foundation), Dominique Guillien and Françoise Brié (National Women’s Solidarity Federation), Danielle Bousquet (National Federation of Information Centers on Women’s and Family Rights) and Sarah Durocher (Family Planning). All require a “startle” to the pretenders to the Elysée: they must “commit to ten ambitious measures to be implemented in the first hundred days of the new term of office”.
Among the measures, the signatories cite the investment of“one billion euros a year to put an end to domestic violence”, the constitutionalization of the right to abortion and the launch of a “Grenelle of equal pay”. “Establish courts and specialized brigades, trained in the fight against violence against women and volunteers”, “guarantee the education of each child in equality, sexuality and emotional life”, “fight against the pornographic industry” are other requests.
These leaders are still advocating for “extend the compulsory leave of the second parent (paternity leave), increase the value of maternity leave without loss of pay and introduce attractive parental leave for both parents”. Finally, another complaint: “create a national coordination of the fight against violence against women under the aegis of the President or the President of the Republic”.
