France: An observatory of sexist and sexual violence in politics
The presidential campaign in sight. To fight against physical and psychological violence against women, the feminists behind the #MeTooPolitique movement announced on Monday February 21 the launch of an observatory on gender-based and sexual violence.
While proven or alleged acts of sexual violence have multiplied in recent years on the French political scene, nearly 300 women from this milieu had published a column in Le Monde in mid-November to denounce the status of women in this sphere with the hashtag #MeTooPolitique.
