French MPs back bill to tackle sexual and gender-based violence
France 24 [en] · western europe
In France, a child is reportedly raped or sexually assaulted every three minutes. In a bid to put an end to sexual and gender-based violence, French MPs have voted for a comprehensive bill that could turn into law by the end of the year; it has yet to be debated by the more conservative Senate at the end of the month. FRANCE 24's Aurore Dupuis, who made the documentary "Broken children", tells us how this new law could help improve the situation for women and children in France.
