In 2023, French authorities recorded 271,000 victims of domestic violence, marking a 10% increase from the previous year.

This rise is attributed to the growing willingness of victims to report incidents, supported by improved victim support services.

Since 2016, the number of reported cases has doubled, with women constituting 85% of victims and men 86% of perpetrators.

Physical violence accounts for 64% of these cases, while 32% involve verbal or psychological abuse.

Despite increased reporting, only 14% of victims filed complaints in 2022, highlighting the need for further societal awareness and support.

Feminist groups urge President Macron to enhance existing measures and increase funding to 2.6 billion euros annually to combat this issue effectively.
