Question 33040 — victim assistance

Summary

Mr. Guillaume Gouffier-Cha questions the Minister Delegate to the Prime Minister, responsible for equality between women and men, diversity and equal opportunities on the results of the departmental commissions established by the law of April 13, 2016 aimed at strengthening the fight against the prostitution system and the support of prostitutes. Intended to promote the implementation of the policy at the local level supporting victims towards a path out of the prostitution system, their territorial application still encounters many obstacles today. The departmental commissions make it possible to accelerate support for victims towards an exit path by promoting social and professional integration in particular. Also, these commissions make it possible to change the vision and understanding of prostitution in the territories. The system, to exist, essentially relies on the prefect or on the local influence of the departmental delegate for women's rights. Indeed, engagement in the exit route is subject to authorization from the prefect after instruction and advice from the departmental commission. It is authorized for a period of six months, renewable for a maximum period of two years. However, even though associative actors and administrative authorities deplore a lack of financial and human resources, the funds allocated to the fight against prostitution are under-executed. As of December 31, 2019, 75 departmental commissions were activated, 111 associations had approval for the implementation of the route and 300 exit routes were authorized. This system is certainly existing and progressive but still insufficient in view of the scourge that is prostitution. Also, he would like to know what is the timetable for the deployment of departmental commissions throughout France. He would also like to know if resources will be increased in order to provide necessary and sufficient financial assistance to support these women victims of violence and to affirm, through this, the abolitionist policy chosen by France four years ago.
