France: Information on protection available to battered women and on women's rights organizations

 

Please find attached some documents that provide information on women's organizations and the recourse available to women who are victims of domestic or sexual violence in France. This adds to the information provided in Country Reports 1993 and other sources available through your Regional Documentation Centre.

This response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the DIRB within time constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.
