Femicides: their decrease in 2023 called into question by associations – (franceinfo)
The government announced on Wednesday January 3 that the number of feminicides fell by 20% in 2023 compared to the previous year. But the associations believe that these figures are incorrect.
In 2023, the number of feminicides fell by 20% compared to the previous yearte, announced the government, Wednesday January 3. According to the executive, 94 feminicides took place, compared to 118 in 2022. The Minister of Justice, Éric Dupond-Moretti, estimated that this drop was not sufficient. For the former minister responsible for Equality between women and men, Isabelle Rome, this result “encouraging” is the fruit “actions carried out” by the executive.
134 feminicides in 2023, according to All of Us
In the circle of associations, these figures are far from establishing a consensus. According to the Nous tous collective, there were 134 femicides, or 40 more than the figures revealed by the government. This discrepancy could be explained by a different method of calculation depending on whether or not feminicides are currently being investigated. If the collectives highlight some progress, they always demand additional means to fight against this social fact.
