French justice system 'overwhelmed': 'Systemic' failures tackling violence against women & children

Annette Young is pleased to welcome Laura Slimani, Director of Projects at the Women's Foundation, a French NGO which has been very much focused on ending violence against women and girls. The killing of 11-year-old Lyhanna has ignited a wave of public anger across France, prompting demonstrations in more than 200 cities and renewed scrutiny of how the justice system handles violence against women and children. Ms. Slimani argues that the tragedy is not simply the result of an individual failure but rather it "reveals a much broader dysfunction and systemic crisis in the entire French justice system: judicial delays, chronic underfunding, and a widening gap between reports of sexual violence and successful prosecutions.  #Lyhanna #Murder #FrenchJusticeSystem 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
