Discrimination and VSS: what are we talking about?
Sexist and sexual violencecovers all situations in which a person imposes sexist or sexual behavior or statements (oral or written) on another person. Such violence can take a variety of forms: sexual or sexist insult or defamation, sexist contempt, sexual exhibition, sexual harassment, discrimination (based on sex, sexual orientation or gender identity in particular), sexual assault, rape. These forms of violence are defined in the French Penal Code (articles 222-22 to 222-33-1).
To help us understand them better, here are a few examples of violence:
Sexist insults or offenses (any sexual or sexist comment or behavior that violates a person's dignity by being degrading or humiliating). It can also be a joke, a sexual, degrading or humiliating behavior or gesture.
Repeated verbal aggression, emotional blackmail, manipulation, isolation, domination and control, etc.
Deliberate use or threat of deliberate use of physical force. They occur in a variety of places and can take different forms (physical acts, sexual assaults, abuse).
It may be a case of aggression (tany sexual assault committed with violence, constraint, threat or surprise), harassment (when sexual comments or behavior are repeatedly imposed) or rape (any act of sexual penetration committed on the person of another or on the person of the perpetrator, of any nature whatsoever, committed by violence, constraint, threat or surprise).
Ehey concern all forms of violence that exist on the Internet (online insults, controlling one's partner by monitoring him/her online, sending unannounced photos of one's sex, publishing intimate content without the consent of one's partner and/or ex).
