Question 11044 — women

Summary

Mrs. Emmanuelle Ménard questions the Secretary of State, attached to the Prime Minister, responsible for equality between women and men, about the sexual assaults which tarnished the victory of the French team during the 2018 Football World Cup. Sunday July 15, 2018, while the French team won the 2018 World Cup, the atmosphere was festive in all the streets of the towns and villages of France. Unfortunately, the jubilation of the crowd was marred by a number of acts of violence against dozens of women. In the wake of #MeToo, a number of them spoke out on Twitter and claimed to have been victims of sexual violence: hands on the buttocks, forced kisses and touching. Traumatized, one internet user even goes so far as to say “the World Cup reminded me that as a woman I remain prey”. However, the prefect of Paris and the Paris prosecutor's office claims to have no information on this subject. As a reaction, the Secretary of State posted on Twitter: "[#Let's stop them] He forcibly kisses a woman during the #CM2018 celebrations: it is sexual assault punishable by law." She also added that “The sexual assaults that were committed must be punished. Witnesses are invited to file complaints or complaints if they are aware of these facts.” Faced with these unacceptable behaviors, it appears that the law “strengthening the fight against sexual and gender-based violence” will be highly ineffective since, in a crowd movement similar to those at the 2018 Football World Cup, it is impossible to identify the attacker(s). She therefore asks her what new measures she intends to take to ensure the safety of French women, particularly in cases of festive gatherings, so that they no longer cause similar excesses.
