PM Elisabeth Borne ends by exclaiming the slogan, displayed on the wall behind her, entitled "Let's raise our eyes" and "let's react collectively" as if to say that we must no longer remain glued to our smartphone, or lower looking down, out of shame, but to paraphrase the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron, who had made his first five-year term one of the priorities because defending women from domestic violence and others "Shame must change sides" aiming so that victims no longer feel shame, and dare to humiliate their attackers by denouncing them and reporting them to the authorities. Since 2017, the Government has supported this movement, with Elisabeth Borne, as Prime Minister who recalls today that her approach is part of the continuity of the Grenelle Summit (Large National consultation over a Summit held in 2019).

At the time, the slogan was #LET NOTHING PASS, and led to forty-six (46) Grenelle Summit measures out of fifty-four (54) being in force and some progress has been made. So that each victim can be supported, we have extended the hours of 3919 (French Hotline for women victims of violence), trained the police and gendarmes, and launched an online reporting platform. To better protect victims, we have created emergency accommodation, deployed anti-reconciliation bracelets, serious danger telephones and strengthened protection orders. To ensure that each attack is punished, we have created the offense of sexist contempt and made it easier to file a complaint. To ensure that our action produces results, we have decided, as a matter of responsibility, to devote unprecedented budgetary and human resources to the fight against domestic violence."
