Gender-based and sexual violence: government proposes €1.5 billion in 2027 budget
Announced Tuesday, September 15, this funding envelope to combat gender-based and sexual violence is deemed insufficient by several organizations to fully implement the comprehensive law.
The government proposed on Tuesday, September 15, to allocate nearly €1.5 billion to combat gender-based and sexual violence as part of the 2027 budget proposal, according to information reported by France 24.
This announcement comes as several organizations call for more substantial funding to enable full implementation of the measures outlined in the comprehensive law, a text aimed at strengthening protection for victims of gender-based and sexual violence.
According to these organizations, cited by France 24, the amount proposed by the executive would be insufficient to cover all the provisions of the law, particularly regarding prevention, victim support, and training for relevant professionals.
France 24 journalist Noémie Roche detailed the stakes of this budget and reactions from organizations involved in a report broadcast on September 16.
Budget debate is expected to continue in the coming weeks, as Parliament must examine the 2027 finance bill.
