Introduction

France is known worldwide for its beauty, cuisine, literature, art, and more, and its influence is also significant socially. However, the dark side of France has a lurking problem of sexual harassment. In this article, we will delve into this issue in detail.

Sexual harassment in French society

The position of women in contemporary French culture Some may think that France is a feminist country, but the reality is a little different. In France, it can’t be said that women occupy the same position as men. As a result, women lack the power to deal with sexual harassment.

Social customs and sexual power dominance

On the other hand, France has a climate which allows sexual harassment to proliferate. This is due to a cultural practice of men disliking being dominated by women. Men fear women overtaking them. Therefore, they sometimes threaten women from their position of power.

Examples of sexual harassment

Reports of sexual harassment by politicians, famous people, filmmakers, and other influential people are increasing in France. For example, a famous politician, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, was accused of sexual harassment, sexual assault, and rape, and was also known to have been wanted by the police. Such incidents can be considered as bad examples of sexual harassment in France.

Unreported problems

Sexual harassment is rarely reported publicly in France, so the crime may remain hidden. French women find themselves in a difficult situation to report a crime. This problem seems to involve issues such as legal framework, cultural influence, and social values.

The above points out the problem of sexual harassment in French society. Next, we will look at the French government’s response.

The Response of the French Government

The French government has established strict legal frameworks in response to sexual harassment issues. In 2018, in response to the #MeToo movement, they introduced the Anti-Sexual Harassment Law, which includes measures to prohibit sexual harassment in the workplace and provides strong regulations for the protection of victims of sexual harassment.

The French government’s legal framework also influences culture. Although there is a strong perception in French society that sexual harassment is commonplace, this perception is gradually changing due to legislative reform. The government also works with public bodies and companies to support the prevention of sexual harassment.

However, legal frameworks alone cannot solve the problem. A response to social change is also necessary. French society has a deep-rooted cultural value that it is desirable for men to exhibit sexual power over women. To change this, it is important to receive education at an individual level. The French government is considering starting an education programme to face this issue and promote change.

Media plays a big role, and scandal coverage often draws attention to the issue of sexual harassment. On the other hand, it is expected that media coverage of sexual harassment will increase in the future due to the efforts of activists, researchers and feminist movements. By conveying the seriousness of sexual harassment through the media and spreading awareness, it will be possible to promote social change.

The role of media

In France, the media plays a role in shedding light on the issue of sexual harassment by reporting on it. Scandalous news coverage is very important in pointing out that there is a problem. However, we believe that it is important not only to inform the public about the problem, but also for the feminist movement to actively participate in finding true solutions to the problem. The media should also participate in the feminist movement and cooperate to tackle sexual harassment. We must act together to eliminate sexual harassment.
