The "loi intégrale" (comprehensive law) against sexual violence is currently under review in a special commission at France's National Assembly. The law, which aims to strengthen protections for victims and increase penalties for perpetrators, is expected to undergo further discussions and amendments before being presented to the full assembly in early October. It has the backing of 240 deputies from eight political groups, excluding the far-right Rassemblement National (RN), the conservative UDR, and the far-left LFI. Gabrielle Cathala, a deputy from La France insoumise (LFI) representing the Val-d'Oise department, has called for increased public pressure to ensure that the most effective measures are included in the final version of the law. While her group has not signed the text, she clarified that this decision does not reflect opposition to the debate itself, unlike the RN, which she said has shown resistance to such discussions. Cathala pointed out what she described as "an immense gap" in the proposed law, citing the absence of measures such as full coverage of victims' medical care by the Social Security system and the elimination of specialized criminal courts that handle sexual violence cases. Additionally, Cathala noted that the law does not include the 3 billion euros requested by advocacy groups to support victims and specialized investigators. She raised concerns about the source of funding for these critical services, questioning how the necessary resources would be secured. While she praised the "pedagogical virtue" of the law—its potential to raise awareness and educate the public—she warned that some of the more expensive and impactful provisions might be removed during the legislative process. Her remarks highlight the ongoing debate over how to balance financial feasibility with the need for comprehensive support for victims of sexual violence.
