Aurore Bergé, the Minister Delegate for Equality between Women and Men, emphasizes the need for legal changes to better address violence against women in France. Following the first feminicide of 2025, Bergé advocates for a ‘collective awakening’ and aims to introduce legislation that will categorize coercive control as a separate offense. She stresses the importance of societal involvement and is seeking increased funding for resources to support victims, including better training for law enforcement and the establishment of women’s shelters.
