More than 140 French public figures from literature, film, journalism and politics are calling for the introduction of a wide-ranging law against sexist and sexual violence in France, saying the country has failed to adequately respond to the #MeToo movement.
Personalities including the bestselling writers Camille Kouchner, Leïla Slimani and Vanessa Springora as well as the actors Juliette Binoche, Isabelle Adjani, Emmanuelle Béart and the actor-director Judith Godrèche, told Le Monde: “Despite the courage of victims, impunity is growing.”
