Question 8736 — associations and foundations

Summary

Ms. Alexandra Martin (Alpes-Maritimes) 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 growing weakening of associations fighting against violence against women, due to reductions in public subsidies and administrative delays. For several months, numerous grassroots associations have been warning about direct consequences of these financial difficulties: closures of offices, layoffs of professionals, reduction of helplines and restricted access to sexual and reproductive rights. These structures, which provide essential legal, psychological and social support to thousands of women victims of violence, are today threatened with closure, particularly in areas that are already under-resourced. According to the data recent results from the CESE (March 2024) and the Associative Movement (April 2025): 62% of associations say they do not have the means to carry out their missions, 31% of associations have cash flow of less than three months and 42% report a drop in their subsidies in recent years. Added to this growing precariousness is a major concern regarding the future of tax incentives for donations, which represent a source of vital funding, particularly in a context of state disengagement. These difficulties arise at a time when violence against women is experiencing a worrying increase: between 2017 and 2023, complaints of sexual violence increased by 282%, making the role of these associations on the ground all the more crucial. She therefore asks him what measures the Government intends to take, urgently and sustainably, to protect public funding dedicated to associations fighting violence against women and guarantee the sustainability of their essential missions, particularly within the framework of the finance bill for 2026.
