Elisabeth Moreno, Minister responsible for Equality between Women and Men, Diversity and Equal Opportunities, said on Saturday November 20 on franceinfo that“there was not a single government that dealt with the violence” against women “as we did”.
Feminist associations criticize the government’s record while the figures for feminicides are not falling. 101 women have died since the beginning of the year under the blows of their spouse or their ex-spouse, as many as last year at the same period. A march against gender-based and sexual violence is organized on Saturday in Paris and in dozens of other cities at the call of the collective #NousToutes.
Great national cause of Emmanuel Macron’s five-year term, the minister defends the government’s record: “We have passed four laws in four years, four laws to protect victims, to protect their children”, she explains. But she admits that “the subject remains extremely significant”. According to Elisabeth moreno, the “Associations are in their role when they demand more, when they ask for more. And this is quite normal because this violence is intolerable and unbearable”.
Elisabeth Moreno hears the criticisms, but wants the government to be judged on the facts: “My ministry’s budgets have doubled. The Home Office is working hard on these issues. We have trained over 90,000 police and gendarmes to deal with victims’ complaints. Victims can file complaints with the hospital. These are measures that had never been implemented before. “, she emphasizes. She calls all “society to mobilize around these questions. But we cannot say that we have not done what is necessary, she says. Things are moving forward.”
