100,000 signatures for a Plan against rape

To Emmanuel Macron, President of the French Republic:

We are deeply shocked by the ordeal experienced by Gisèle. Like her, hundreds of thousands of women suffer rape and sexual assault every year in our country. We ask you to keep your promise and put in place an arsenal of measures to stop the culture of rape and the impunity it generates and to defend these measures for all European women.

100,000 signatures for a Plan against rape

In his small town, Gisèle's husband had no trouble finding 80 volunteers - from the nurse to the city councillor - to rape his wife.

As her husband’s trial takes place with 50 defendants, this unbearable tragedy reveals how trivialised rape is. Measures to end impunity have proven their worth in Spain, but the French President is procrastinating. While his government is weakened, and he has shown that he is not listening enough to the French, let’s add international pressure to finally convince him.

When we reach 100,000 signatures, we will give them to Emmanuel Macron with survivors and demand that the fight against rape becomes a priority in France. We will then use this example to defend women in the UK! Our sisters and daughters can no longer wait, sign and share as soon as possible.
