France has long tolerated violence toward women, and its rape laws exclude any mention of consent. Gisèle Pelicot’s story is changing the conversation. But far-right women’s groups like Collectif Némésis want to steer it in an anti-immigrant direction.

The American far right has used the death of Laken Riley to strip immigrants of due process. Their counterparts in France employ the same strategy, using the language of women’s rights to support the case for nationalist authoritarianism.

“French feminism appears to be ever-splintering, with divisions and disagreements on issues of criminalization, sex, and the power of the state.”

The southern French city of Perpignan has become one of the most crucial havens for far-right politics in France. But, as @beckynathanson reports, some residents are fighting back.
