Overview

Systemic racism and religious discrimination persisted, including against Muslim women and girls. Racial profiling continued with impunity. Excessive restrictions on peaceful protests and excessive use of force by police persisted. France continued to supply weapons to Israel. Safeguards governing video surveillance by law enforcement were insufficient. Discriminatory restrictions in relation to immigration, nationality and asylum continued. France became the first country in the world to explicitly include abortion as a guaranteed freedom in its constitution. Survivors of sexual violence from marginalized groups, particularly migrant women, transgender women and sex workers, faced systemic barriers to filing a complaint.
