Question 5235 — victim assistance

Summary

Ms. Christine Le Nabour draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Prime Minister, responsible for equality between women and men and the fight against discrimination, to the opening of the number 3919 to male victims of domestic violence. Since 2014, the 3919 number has been a listening and guidance system for women victims of domestic violence. This service, accessible 24/7, has been an essential tool to support victims in the context of a health crisis, with more than 112,000 calls received in 2023, including nearly 74% for violence against women. However, although women constitute the majority of victims of domestic violence, it is also essential to recognize the reality of violence against men, whether it is violence within a heterosexual or homosexual couple. According to ministry data from the inside, in 2022, around 14% of victims of domestic violence were men, a figure which cannot be ignored in the overall treatment of domestic violence. The 3919 number plays a crucial role as the first point of contact for victims, allowing rapid referral to suitable solutions. However, in its current state, it does not support male victims of domestic violence, creating thus a form of imbalance in the support of victims. In order to ensure a comprehensive response to domestic violence, it seems essential to extend this system to men and to integrate into its governance associations specializing in their support, in addition to appropriate training for listeners. As part of the 2025 finance bill, the MP tabled an amendment to this effect. She questions him therefore on its desire to extend the number 3919 to men victims of domestic violence, in the interest of equal listening and support.
