Question 17269 — discrimination

Summary

Mr. Sylvain Carrière alerts the Minister Delegate to the Prime Minister, responsible for equality between women and men and the fight against discrimination, about the lack of legal sanctions concerning discriminatory behavior in France. As highlighted in the 2025 report of the National Consultative Commission on Human Rights (CNCDH), racist, anti-Semitic and xenophobic disputes remain insufficiently understood. by justice. In 2024, only 10,035 cases were handled by the public prosecutor's offices, while a survey by the statistical services of the Ministry of the Interior estimates that around 1.2 million people declare themselves victims of a racist attack each year. As the Defender of Rights already pointed out in 2020, “Discrimination is not the result of individual logic []. It is the whole system that is at fault, a system that reproduces inequalities. Whether to seek treatment, to find an internship, a job or housing, discriminatory logic persists and constitutes barriers to access to fundamental services for people who are often already in a disadvantaged situation. Last year, the Minister announced a testing operation to fight against discrimination in the world of work, with the sending of 4,000 CV tests. It seems important to systematize this approach by setting up a national testing program, which is probative and scientific. The Maison des potes association emphasizes that these tests must not only be used to establish statistics concerning discrimination, but that they must also be used as tools for producing evidence and ensuring the effectiveness of the law, to facilitate the triggering of litigation actions. On July 9, 2026, the minister presented a bill “for republican cohesion through the fight against racism and anti-Semitism”, but it does not address the issue of testing. In addition, several associations which fight against racism have already highlighted the limits of the provisions present in this text to promote reporting and the effectiveness of sanctions for the acts. discriminatory. The MP therefore asks the Minister what the lessons learned from last year's CV testing operation were and whether she intends to set up a national probative and scientific testing system. He also asks her what other measures she intends to put in place so that discriminatory acts are finally systematically punished.
