“New start pack”: a tool to facilitate procedures for victims of domestic violence

This is a new initiative that Isabelle Rome told us about during our interview for the day for the fight against violence against women.

The “new start pack” aims to facilitate procedures for victims of domestic violence to enable them to leave their homes and get to safety, through “a series of measures that can be activated for them, to support them socially when they decide to leave” The Secretary of State for Gender Equality, Diversity and Equal Opportunities explained it to us then.

A single interlocutor for all procedures

This Saturday, November 26, he specified the provisions of this package, which will include “an allowance, a skip-the-line system for childcare, job placement or training, emergency accommodation if needed, psychological support”. To improve support, a single interlocutor will be accessible for all these procedures.

The goal, as Emmanuel Macron also recalled during his trip to Dijon, is to set up a “simplified and comprehensive support to enable victims to rebuild”.

It is precisely in Dijon what will be the system tested from January 2023. Another five or six territories will also serve as tests. Isabelle Rome also insisted on the need to test the pack on regions with different demographic needs and characteristics”. in rural, urban and of course overseas “.

In addition to this measure, there is also the implementation of specialized justice, through the poles, and of course the essential theme of the training of the interlocutors in contact with the victims of domestic violence.
