TESTIMONIAL EUROPE 1
Six addictologists on Monday call for an alarm through an open letter to Agnès Buyzn, the Minister of Health, and Marlène Schiappa, State Secretary for Equality between Women and Men. They ask that alcohol be taken into account in the Grenelle domestic violence, which is held until November 25, subject which for now is not part of it. According to these experts, in 55% of the cases of femicide in 2018, at least one of the two persons, perpetrator or victim, was under the influence of a substance, be it alcohol or narcotics. Marie, who has lived with a dependent man, tells his ordeal to Europe 1.
"In alcohol, his violence was increased tenfold, he did not recognize me anymore, whereas sober, it was someone of adorable, of really formidable", reports with Europe 1 Marie, ex-victim of conjugal violence with a man under the influence of alcohol.
"I happened to jump out of the window"
"At first, alcohol was a festive alcohol, even I drank with him, and then it became a violent alcohol," says the woman. "He was making holes in my house, he was breaking everything, I had police at my house every other day, and I happened to jump out the window to get away," she says. "I was running so that he could not catch me by saying, if he catches me, he'll kill me."
