INTERVIEW
In the face of the drama of feminicide, the government is called to act. While since the beginning of the year, 70 women died under the blows of their husbands, a feminist group called on Wednesday the President of the Republic to take "five immediate measures" to fight against this scourge, in a forum published in The world . Invited from Europe 1, the actress Muriel Robin, engaged in the fight against violence against women, also regrets the lack of resources allocated to associations and the poor handling of the complainants in the police stations. "There is everything to do and nothing is done," she warns.
"These crimes are not inevitable, they can be avoided," says Muriel Robin, taking up the words of the magistrate Luc Frémiot, who launched Tuesday a petition with the actress Eva Darlan for the state to investigate the "failures" which led to the 70 deaths. "It is necessary to precisely identify the pathways and the failings that led to the murders of 70 women".
"Sanctioning those who did not do their job well"
According to the comedian, one of the main failings is the poor support in the police stations of women wishing to file a complaint. "Why do we send them home when we know that this is where they are most at risk," she asks. And to add: "still it would be necessary that the complaint is taken (...) when a woman goes to a police station to make complaint, it is often asked him to deposit a handrail whereas it is prohibited by the law". Also, claims Muriel Robin: "we need an emergency mobilization of police and justice services", and "punish those who have not done their job well"
A rally is scheduled Saturday in Paris to demand the establishment of a policy of prevention of feminicides, at the call of a group of families and relatives of victims. At the microphone of Europe 1, if she concedes "a better awareness" violence against women, Muriel Robin calls for strong action on the part of the executive. "The authorities are in a situation of non-assistance to person in danger", hammers the one who played Jacqueline Sauvage on television. Before detailing a few concrete measures: "more money for associations, help them, take complaints, a Grenelle of violence against women".
