Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu announced Tuesday the budgets the government intends to allocate to the "comprehensive law" against gender-based and sexual violence, a bill set to be discussed in Parliament in autumn 2026, according to information reported by France 24.
According to these announcements, the government will propose dedicating approximately €1.5 billion to combating gender-based and sexual violence as part of the 2027 budget.
An additional €2.6 billion would be allocated to child protection, according to the information provided by the Prime Minister.
These announcements come ahead of parliamentary review of the "comprehensive law," which aims to strengthen the legislative framework for combating gender-based violence and violence against minors.
The precise details of how these budget allocations will be distributed, as well as the detailed content of the proposed legislation, are expected to be clarified in the coming weeks as the bill moves toward review in the National Assembly and the Senate.
