France Reports Rise in Conjugal Feminicides as Feminist Groups Plan Nationwide Strike

New Miprof figures showing 107 killings in 2024 have turned the 25 November period into a test of political resolve.

Overview

  • The Miprof/Observatory reports 107 women killed by partners in 2024, 270 attempted killings, and 906 suicide or attempt cases linked to partner harassment, totaling 1,283 victims.
  • The tally equates to more than three victims per day, with one case every seven hours, up from 1,196 in 2023.
  • Additional indicators note one rape, attempted rape or sexual assault every two minutes and sexual harassment or unsolicited sexual content every 23 seconds.
  • The Grève Féministe coalition has called a strike and marches on 22 November in Paris and dozens of cities, pressing for a comprehensive law-cadre and a €3 billion program.
  • Associations cite shrinking subsidies—an average 15% cut this year, with 72% of rural groups at risk—while ministers say police and gendarmes are fully mobilized and a law-cadre will be presented quickly.
