Health crisis - Ministry of Gender Equality

numeros urgence violences

The Ministry for Equality between Women and Men had just issued a communiqué to help victims of violence who could leave their homes - with their children - at any time without having to have a certificate during the curfew period currently in force.

The current health context is an aggravating factor for victims of violence and their children when they are confined. It is important to remember that all the various warning and rescue systems are also active and operational to listen to, rescue and protect people inside the home. If they feel in danger, they can leave their home - with their children - at any time, without having to have a certificate. Police officers and gendarmes have been trained in these emergency situations.
