Proposition de loi visant à inscrire le féminicide dans le Code pénal.

Stage en_commissionUpdated 3mo ago

This legislative proposal seeks to formally introduce 'femicide' as a specific offense within the Belgian Penal Code. By defining the killing of women based on their gender, the law aims to provide a more accurate legal framework for addressing gender-based violence and ensuring these crimes are recognized as such during prosecution. This change would affect the legal system and the judiciary, potentially leading to different sentencing guidelines and improved legal protections for women.
