Legislative developments in France's anti-GBV bill

Overview

The French National Assembly has expanded its legislative package to combat sexual and gender-based violence, with the text growing from 69 to over 110 articles. While the Assembly previously adopted workplace protections, it rejected contentious measures regarding the residency status of foreign victims and mandatory deportation for certain offenders.

The updated proposal includes establishing minimum standards for investigations to prevent the premature dismissal of complaints, creating specialized police and judicial units, and implementing mandatory annual interviews in schools starting in 2032 to identify violence. The legislation also aims to provide dedicated care pathways for minor victims.

A new focus of the bill involves addressing gynecological and obstetrical violence by incorporating these terms into the public health code. This measure seeks to strengthen requirements for explicit consent during intimate medical procedures and penalize the denial of patient pain. While medical consent is already a legal requirement, this article intends to make these rights more concrete by requiring differentiated consent for specific acts.

Despite broad cross-party support, the legislation faces challenges regarding its estimated annual cost of several billion euros. The bill must now pass through the more conservative French Senate, which may result in further modifications.
