Question 697 — women

Summary

Ms. Maina Sage draws the attention of the Secretary of State to the Prime Minister, responsible for equality between women and men, to the decline in resources devoted to gender equality. Many associations are indeed worried about the consequences of such savings made at the expense of the promotion of women's rights which are unfortunately experiencing a general decline throughout the world. These actors on the ground alert us particularly on the inevitable impact that this budget reduction will have on the fight against violence, while still in 2016, a woman died every 2.7 days at the hands of her partner. Overseas countries are no exception to this observation: violence against women is numerous there and the most serious attacks exceed the national average. As such, she asks him to kindly present the induced effects of this budget reduction and guarantee that the savings imposed by the Government will not be to the detriment of actions to protect and support women, particularly victims of violence.
