At the end of 2017, the President of the French Republic declared equality between women and men to be the "great cause of the five-year term". During his speech on November 25, 2017 on the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, he had indeed announced, or confirmed several measures, such as extending the statute of limitations for sexual crimes against minors, the alignment of the age of consent with the age of sexual majority, 15 years, the creation of a "sexist offence" punishing street harassment, or the introduction of a teaching module in all public schools dedicated to the prevention and fight against sexism, harassment and violence.
Four years later, as the end of the quinquennium approaches, many feminist associations denounced the lack of means put in place by the government, the absence of structural reforms, and perceive the "great cause of the quinquennium" as effects of announcement having produced very few results in reality.
Moreover, according to a survey conducted at the end of October 2021, less than half of French women are satisfied with Emmanuel Macron's actions in terms of women's rights. The most critical are the sympathizers of Europe Ecologie - Les Verts and Rassemblement National, while, without much surprise, supporters of the presidential party are almost unanimously satisfied, with 96 percent saying they were satisfied with Macron's actions.
