What do these numbers say?

Between 2017 and 2021, intentional assaults on people aged 15 and over increased by 31%: the police had recorded 233,600 incidents in 2017, compared to 306,700 four years later, i.e. 73,100 additional incidents.

Of the 233,600 incidents recorded in 2017, 100,500 concerned domestic violence.

In 2021, 57,000 additional acts of this type were recorded compared to 2017, i.e. 157,500 acts in total.

78% of the increase in acts of violence recorded between 2017 and 2021 is therefore clearly due to the greater number of acts of domestic violence recorded.

A drop which is not synonymous with an improvement in the situation, have warned associations.

For 2021, the Féminicides by companions or ex collective, which is carrying out its own census, has counted 113 feminicides.

The count already stands at 31 for the start of 2022.
