Comprehensive Law Against Gender-Based and Sexual Violence: Text Modified in Committee
Lawmakers' examination of the bill concluded Wednesday, with several provisions revised before its arrival in the chamber on October 1st.
The committee examination of the comprehensive bill against sexist and sexual violence ended on Wednesday in the National Assembly, after several days of debates between deputies.
According to the rapporteur of the text, the examination took place in a "spirit of consensus", an assessment welcomed despite the numerous changes made to the initial text before its passage in public session, scheduled for 1 October.
In-depth review of the provisions
Several provisions of the bill were deeply modified during the examination in committee, without all the changes being immediately detailed publicly. These adjustments reflect the negotiations between the different parliamentary groups on a particularly sensitive text, relating to the prevention and punishment of gender-based and sexual violence.
The text must now be debated in plenary session at the National Assembly from 1 October, where new amendments could still be proposed by MPs before a final vote.
Women's rights associations are closely following the evolution of this text, whose initial ambition was to propose a global response to sexist and sexual violence in France.
