Aid to victims of domestic violence was unanimous. Not a way failed in the National Assembly, Monday, January 16, for the adoption of a bill providing for the creation of this universal emergency financial assistance, the objective of which is to allow victims to Make upon shelter as quickly as possible. The amount, modulated as needed, must be specified by decree
The deputies resumed by modifying it a proposal from the centrist senator Valérie Létard, also voted unanimously in October in the Senate at first reading. Deputies and senators should easily agree on a final text for final adoption in the coming weeks, then a promulgation within a maximum of nine months. With this aid, “the first departure” of the home no longer must be “a false departure”, underlined Minister Isabelle Rome, in charge of gender equality. Currently, victims under “influence or financially dependent have sometimes no choice but to return to square one, in this closed door with their attackers,” she deplored.
The deputies approved an amendment to the government which proposes to pay this aid in the form of a donation and not only an interest -free loan, as voted by the Senate. This financial support will be conditioned on a protection order, a complaint or a report addressed to the public prosecutor. 2> Don or loan to the author of the violence
At least a part must be paid within three days. When the aid will be allocated in the form of a loan, his reimbursement will be borne by the person found guilty of violence if necessary, with an additional sentence “of reimbursement obligation”.
Against the government’s opinion, the Assembly adopted an amendment by ecologist Sandrine Rousseau to create a multi -year funding law intended for the fight against violence against women. His fate is however uncertain during the rest of the parliamentary shuttle.
The deputies of the National Rally (RN) had initially attempted to take up the text, inspired by an experiment in the North department, in their parliamentary niche, a day intended for their texts on January 12, but the Conference of Presidents of the Assembly decided to register this transpartisan subject during a “week’s week”, which started this Monday. The RN did not oppose it. An RN deputy, Emmanuel Taché de la Pagerie was co -rapporteur, with the elected official of the independent group Liot Béatrice Descamps. The Ministry of the Interior identified 207,743 victims of domestic violence in France in 2021, mainly women. One hundred and twenty-two were killed by their spouse or ex-spouse that same year, according to the ministry.
