France is addressing a severe crisis, with reports indicating a child is raped or sexually assaulted approximately every three minutes. French Members of Parliament have approved a comprehensive bill aimed at tackling sexual and gender-based violence across the country. The proposed law seeks to improve protections for women and children who are victims of these crimes. FRANCE 24’s Aurore Dupuis, whose documentary “Broken children” highlights the issue, reports on the potential impact of the legislation. However, the bill still needs to be debated and approved by the more conservative Senate later this month to become law by the year’s end. The legislation represents a significant step toward addressing the pervasive issue of sexual violence in France and providing support for survivors.
