Authorities in France documented 285,000 victims of domestic violence in 2025, primarily affecting women. This number reflects a 5 percent increase compared to the previous year, underscoring the persistent problem of domestic violence in the country.
In response to the rising figures, lawmakers are currently engaged in discussions about a new law aimed at addressing sexual and gender-based violence. This legislation is anticipated to be finalized at the beginning of 2027, as part of ongoing efforts to combat these issues.
