法國(guó)立法打擊街頭性騷擾

French lawmakers passed a law, imposing fines for instances of sexual harassment on the street.

法國(guó)國(guó)會(huì)議員近日通過(guò)一項(xiàng)法案，對(duì)街頭性騷擾行為處以罰款。

The law instituted a fine of up to $815 for gender-based harassment on streets and public transportation after a viral video showed 22-year-old girl being attacked by a man after she told him to "shut up" when he harassed her as she passed by.

此前流傳甚廣的一段視頻顯示，一名22歲女孩經(jīng)過(guò)一男子身邊時(shí)被其性騷擾，女孩要求他“閉嘴”后遭到該男子的襲擊。法案規(guī)定，在街道或者公共交通上的性騷擾行為最高可罰款815美元。

It is expected to take effect in September.

該法案將于9月起實(shí)施。

 

"Harassment in the street has previously not been punished. From now on, it will be," said Marlene Schiappa, a gender equality minister who crafted the legislation.

制定該法案、負(fù)責(zé)性別平等的部長(zhǎng)瑪琳·斯基亞帕表示：“此前街頭的騷擾行為沒(méi)有受到懲罰。從現(xiàn)在開(kāi)始就會(huì)了。”

The law outlaws sexual or sexist comments and degrading, intimidating or hostile behavior.

法案將性騷擾及性別歧視言論以及羞辱、恐嚇或者敵視行為歸為違法行為。

The law also extended the deadline for underage victims of rape to file complaints to 30 years after they turn 18 and stated sex between an adult and a person of 15 or under can only be considered rape if the younger party was judged not competent to give consent.

此外，法案還將未成年強(qiáng)奸受害者在成年后提交訴訟的期限延長(zhǎng)至30年，并規(guī)定若年輕一方被認(rèn)為無(wú)同意能力，成年人和15歲及以下兒童間的性行為只能被認(rèn)定為強(qiáng)奸。
