Question 22427 — overseas

Summary

Ms. Ericka Bareigts alerts the Secretary of State to the Prime Minister, responsible for equality between women and men and the fight against discrimination, about the reduction in subsidies planned by the State for the Family Planning network. Today structured around 13 regional federations, 76 departmental associations and around 150 information centers, the French Movement for Family Planning (MFPF) supports since 1956 families, mostly women, through numerous sexual health services. While the network welcomed 355,804 people in 2018 within its offices, several representatives of local branches denounce a drop in their subsidies. This is the case in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Subsidy reductions of up to 30% would also be considered, particularly for prevention and sexuality education actions. in educational establishments. Worse, a 50 to 60% reduction would be planned for the next 10 years. Representatives of the Reunion branch, created in 2006, also mention a drop of 10% between 2017 and 2018 and are very concerned about the subsidies for 2019 and those to come. Reunion Island is, however, a department where Family Planning actions are essential. The fertility rate is significantly higher higher than that of France (2.43 children per Reunionese woman) compared to 1.85. The number of single-parent families is 10 points higher there. The number of voluntary terminations of pregnancies is twice as high as in the Pays-de-la-Loire region and it is double for minors aged 15 to 17 than the national average. In response to these issues, an agreement was signed in 2017, for a period of 3 years between the Minister of Overseas Territories and the MFPF network in Overseas Territories for the financing of specific actions: development of network associations and partner associations, exchanges of practices, sharing of experiences, development of access to information and care, communication campaigns on sexual rights, prevention of violence, particularly gender-based violence. The MP alerts the Government to the numerous needs in terms of prevention and support in sexual health in Reunion. She asks him if the State is considering further reductions in subsidies to the French Movement for Family Planning, particularly for the Reunion branch.
