Violaine De Filippis-Abate, the author of the book Basta!, recently analyzed the National Rally (RN) party's stance on women's rights and its electoral strategies. The book, aimed at both activists and individuals open to dialogue, provides data and arguments to support its claims. De Filippis-Abate noted that the RN has seen a rise in female voters, partly attributed to the leadership of Marine Le Pen, the party's leader, who has helped reduce the stigma associated with the RN. She introduced the term "femonationalism," a concept coined by sociologist Sara R. Farris, which describes a political strategy that uses a superficial defense of women's rights to bolster nationalist and xenophobic agendas. While the RN often references women's rights, particularly in cases involving immigrants or people from non-French backgrounds, De Filippis-Abate emphasized that the party does not support comprehensive policies to address systemic violence against women. According to the analysis by Bon pote, which reviewed 189 amendments and proposals related to women's rights between 2022 and 2025, only 42% were supported by the RN. The party's 2026 counter-budget does not include specific funding to combat violence against women, and instead proposes reducing subsidies to associations and local actors by 3.2 billion and 5 billion euros, respectively. The RN has not included specific policy proposals on violence against women in its programs for the 2024 European elections or the 2022 presidential election. If such a proposal were to be introduced for 2027, it would likely focus on identity issues rather than comprehensive measures to protect women. According to the service statistique ministériel de la sécurité intérieure, 87% of those accused of non-domestic or non-familial sexual violence are French nationals, challenging the RN's narrative that such violence is primarily imported from other cultures. De Filippis-Abate pointed out that the RN does not support quotas for women in leadership roles, believing that systemic patriarchy does not exist. The party has opposed measures aimed at protecting women, including voting against an amendment in the 2024 budget that sought to evaluate the financial needs for training professionals working with victims of sexual violence. In January 2025, all RN deputies abstained from voting on a proposal to strengthen the fight against violence against women and children. In March 2023, they also voted against extending ineligibility for perpetrators of domestic violence. In the European Parliament, RN members refused to ratify the Istanbul Convention, an international agreement aimed at preventing and combating violence against women. De Filippis-Abate warned that if the RN were to come to power, access to abortion could become more difficult, citing instances where RN mayors have cut funding to organizations like the Planning Familial. Some RN representatives have opposed sex education programs, which include information on contraception and abortion for students in 4th grade. Without financial support, existing rights for women may remain unimplemented.
