Lyhanna case: Sébastien Lecornu announces that the 'integral law' will be examined in the Assembly at the beginning of October

French Minister Sébastien Lecornu announced that the 'integral law' will be examined by the National Assembly starting early October. The law, which has been at the center of controversy, aims to address issues related to gender equality and sexual violence. The announcement comes amid ongoing debates over the legal framework surrounding these matters. While the exact provisions of the law remain undisclosed, the timing suggests potential legislative action ahead of important national discussions.

French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu confirmed on September 1st that the "integral law" against sexual violence will be examined at the National Assembly starting in early October. This proposal, introduced by Socialist deputy Céline Thiébault-Martinez on August 11, includes 69 articles and will begin its review by a special committee on September 7. The government had committed in July to work throughout the summer to develop a comprehensive response to violence against women and children and present it to Parliament at the start of October. Lecornu reiterated this promise on his X account. The draft law was initially planned for public debate on September 28 during an extraordinary session. However, recent parliamentary sources indicated that the government has decided not to convene such a session and instead wait until the regular session begins on October 1st. The initiative follows the Lyhanna case, involving an 11-year-old girl found dead and sexually assaulted in the Gers department. The government sought advice from the Council of State in mid-July, which influenced the shaping of the new version of the text. Thiébault-Martinez developed an initial version of the bill late in 2025, drawing inspiration from 130 proposals compiled by a coalition of feminist organizations and child rights defenders.
