Female migration is often equated to family reunification. The figure of the migrant is
that of a man and women are again invisibilisées. But according to statistics from the
High Commissioner for refugees, women represent nearly half of migrants worldwide. And
violence are an integral part of their journey. ---- The reasons for the migration of
women are as diverse as men, if not more, for professional or economic reasons, armed
conflict or state violence are added the specific violence suffered as women: domestic
violence, forced prostitution, rape, mutilation, forced marriages and whatnot from a world
which, from north to south, from east to west, is governed by and for men. If, for many of
these women leave their country, their family, their support is guided by the hope of a
more peaceful life, their arrival in France is often a bitter disappointment. Past risks
"journey" they face further violence orchestrated this time by the state. This
institutional violence descends on them in many ways.
The Geneva Convention, governing the right of asylum does not recognize violence and
persecution specifically against women. And Ofpra, organization issuing the status of
refugee in France, tends to describe violence against women to a "private matter"
therefore not subject asylum because not political. But domestic violence are political in
societies based on male domination.
Chained to their torturers
In addition, the establishment of an asylum file can be particularly distressing and
painful. Relive the trauma and violence tell the menu lived a stranger, which may also
prove to be a man in a language that is not ours, reports of the torture. Many women do
not mention the rape they have suffered. Because rape is taboo here as elsewhere. Because
asylum cases consist family. Because their relatives are not always aware. Because, just,
it's too hard. Because it takes hard evidence (copy of a filing of complaint, medical
certificate ...) they do not necessarily possess. For women living in France under the
status of family reunification, or wife of French, the situation is hardly better. The
violence they suffer, and should find protection squarely turn against them and become a
risk to the maintenance of their right to stay. A female victim of domestic violence,
leaving her husband, takes the risk of losing their residence permit. These women leave
their country in search of emancipation and France find themselves chained to their torturers.
The difficulties inherent in the condition of undocumented, undocumented Papers abused are
destitute and have absolutely no protection. They can not complain to the police without
the risk of being deported.
The specific oppression of women must be recognized as legitimate because of migration and
entitlement to special protection by the State through the asylum. The separation of the
joint should be ground to the non-renewal of residence permits. Women victims of violence
should be better supported in their psychological reconstruction rather than live in a
permanent sense of insecurity. They should be able to overcome economically and
psychologically from their violent or abusive spouse.
Non-recognition of specific violence against women in access to the residence is
unfortunately an indicator, for those who doubt still, because, yes, well we live in a
patriarchal society governed by laws made by and for men.
