This Monday, November 25, 2024, is the international day against violence against women. A demonstration will take place at 6 p.m. in front of the CCCOD in Tours at the call of around twenty organizations. The departmental delegate for women's rights, Marie Roussel Stadnicki, is the guest of France Bleu Touraine to provide an overview of existing systems and their uses.
Reports on the rise
A year earlier, in October 2023, the prefect of Indre-et-Loire had said, when speaking about this violence against women, that “the situation is dark, we cannot see the end of the tunnel“And this is still the case. The number of reports of complaints of domestic violence is increasing, the number of women welcomed in hospitals and associations, and the number of facts revealed to the courts as well. “The numbers are racingassure Marie Roussel Stadnicki. Every year, we have between 15 and 20% more revelations about violence.“This does not necessarily mean that there is more violence, but rather that speech is freed and these facts are more revealed.
Michel Barnier, the Prime Minister, will announce this Monday, November 25, 2024, new measures to combat this violence. He could announce an additional seven million euros for emergency aid to victims. This aid represents on average 800 euros to help victims, it is paid according to the family quotient and according to the person's income. The department of Indre-et-Loire paid 300 between December 2023 and October 2024. These new measures will not be too much to fight against this phenomenon. “I believe that we still have room for improvement to make in financial terms, in terms of human resourcesestimates the departmental delegate for women's rights in Indre-et-Loire. Because we really encouraged the women, the victims, to reveal what they were going through, and we are running a little after the reception capacity in the associations and in the police stations to support these people.“
No more “serious danger” phones
Several other systems exist to help victims of violence. This is particularly the case for “serious danger” telephones, which allow you to quickly contact assistance in the event of an emergency. “In the spring, we have 50 serious danger telephones, 45 of which are used almost constantlydetails Marie Roussel Stadnicki. Madam prosecutor asked for ten morewe are waiting for them.“
