The controversy about the "single-sex" meetings organized by the UNEF could rebound in the judicial field: several deputies and deputies Les Républicains, including Julien Aubert and Valérie Boyer, sent a letter to the public prosecutor to warn him of what they consider to be a potential violation.

The president of the main student union, Mélanie Luce, said this week, on Europe 1, to organize support groups for people of color (that is to say those who are victims of racism).
It is for these people to share their experiences without people who are not victims of racism, most often white, being accepted into these groups.
Hence the term “single-sex” meeting.
Discrimination?
Single-sex participation may well be a common practice of unionism (employees do not hold union meetings with their bosses, for example) and very common (like single-sex meetings between women in feminist associations) the practice gives rise to ire many and many elected right, far right and the Macronist majority.
The LR parliamentarians who wrote this letter to the public prosecutor believe that these meetings “prohibited to whites” constitute discrimination against people on the basis of their origin or their real or supposed membership of an ethnic group.
Some even accuse Unef of racism.
The concept of “anti-white racism” or “reverse racism” is strongly contested by the majority of researchers in the social sciences.
