Adopted in 2010, this National Action Plan for France has the general objective to ensure that the rights of women are taken into account and effectively respected and to implement the specific protections that are needed to assist populations that are victims of armed conflict, especially refugee and internally displaced women and women in postconflict situations. The plan aims to foster, at international level, protection of women against all forms of violence, respect for their fundamental rights and their equal participation in decision-making processes regarding peace building, reconstruction and development. It is structured in four parts: 1. Protecting women against violence and working to ensure respect for their fundamental rights; 2. Participation of women in managing conflict and post-conflict situations; 3. Raising awareness of respect for women’s rights in training programmes; and 4. Developing political and diplomatic action.
