Question 6507 — women

Summary

Ms. Agnès Carel draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to support policies for feminist organizations operating in France's development aid partner countries. Announced in 2019 by the President of the Republic, the Support Fund for Feminist Organizations aims to support feminist civil society organizations (CSOs) operating in partner countries of the policy of development of France. Co-led by the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs and the French Development Agency, this fund is part of French feminist diplomacy and France's International Strategy for equality between women and men 2018-2022. France is committed to leading feminist diplomacy. Complementing other international initiatives or bilateral projects financed by France on equality issues, this Support Fund for Feminist Organizations (FSOF) was to mobilize 120 million euros over three years (2020, 2021, 2022) to finance the activities of feminist movements around the world. It was intended for local civil society organizations acting in favor of equality between women and men, the rights of women and girls and gender issues. While concentrating efforts on priority countries of French development policy (65% priority to initiatives located in Africa), the fund was also intended to target civil society organizations in other countries where equality issues are significant. During the three years of its execution, it was particularly responsible for the following themes: sexual and reproductive rights and health and education. comprehensive approach to sexuality, the fight against discrimination and gender-based and sexual violence, including the fight against harmful practices (female genital mutilation, child and forced marriage), women's empowerment and participation in economic life, women's social and political leadership, girls' access to education at primary, secondary and higher levels, the "Women, peace and security" agenda and role of women in crises and gender and climate. Also, this program had to end at the end of 2022. The MP would like to know the main actions that were finally carried out with this fund. She would like to know in particular whether this fund was able to help organizations which promote the education of girls on the one hand and those which work in the fight against genital mutilation and forced marriages, which are still very numerous in the world, particularly in certain African or Asian countries, to have some examples of these actions in these areas.
