The state will create 1,000 additional accommodation places for victims of domestic violence in addition to the 1,000 already planned under the Grenelle, said Jean Castex on Wednesday during a visit to the Maison des femmes de Saint. -Denis.
“This brings us to 6,500 places (in total) for these women and children,” then said the Minister Delegate in charge of Gender Equality Elisabeth Moreno.
While associations wonder about the reality of the 1,000 places already announced last year, at the launch of the Grenelle domestic violence, the minister assured that they “have been created”. “And I will do everything to ensure that the 1000 others are and that we ensure that the mapping of these new accommodations is fair, whether in rural, urban or overseas areas. “, she added.
What about funding?
Critics have also surrounded the funding: the call for projects provides for an average cost of 25 euros per day and per place, while appropriate support “would require an expenditure of 40 to 50 euros”, recently criticized in a report Senators Arnaud Bazin (LR) and Éric Bocquet (PCF).
“25 euros, I do not intend to stop at that”, guaranteed Ms. Moreno. “We are working on this subject. It is not a question of accommodating women in any conditions,” she insisted.
Ms. Moreno also indicated that 15 new care centers for perpetrators of domestic violence would be inaugurated in 2020 and 15 more in 2021.
