The Observatory of sexual violence in politics calls for a rally against the "government of shame"

“At a time when the government has just remade the fight against violence against women its “great cause of the five-year term” and when Olivia Grégoire, government spokesperson, encourages freedom of speech, it is inconceivable to keep government a man accused of rape," said Mathilde Viot, one of the association's co-founders.

“We are not asking Élisabeth Borne to do a job as a judge, we are asking her to decide if Damien Abad is able to assume his duties.

As it stands, we believe that he cannot fulfill his mission as Minister of Solidarity,” she added.

“We do a job that is not ours”

The Observatory of sexist and sexual violence in politics, which transmitted the testimonies of the accusers of Damien Abad to executives of LREM and LR, wants to be "the relay of the question of sexual violence in politics".

The Observatory pleads for the exclusion from politics of men accused of sexual and gender-based violence and also calls for the creation of a State structure that takes charge of this monitoring work.

“We are doing a job that is not ours, which should be the role of the state.

The High Authority for Transparency in Public Life does not have a role in controlling sexual violence, but should be able to control this issue,” asks another member.
