"If you think that this is an unsafe place for a women, wait until she gets home. One out of six women in Europe suffer domestic violence and it is time that it stopped. The council of Europe wants you to speak out whether you are a witness or a victim." (Beyond Borders Internet Television)

The French National Assembly is ready for more progressive actions beyond advertising campaigns to address the issue of domestic violence in France. A proposal aims to monitor this by forcing men seen as likely to be violent towards their wives to wear an electronic tag.

We are looking at perspectives from Le Monde, JBS, and France 24.

Le Monde supports the tag idea - saying the tag would be an active way for the government to protect people.

"The fact that this violence happens in the home of the victim has always been a pretext for authorities to wash their hands and declare this a private domestic matter. Such an attitude is a collective refusal to help people in danger. "

But critics like the John Birch Society question France's proposal. A blog post on the site says the idea of monitoring psychological abuse will simply enact invasive rudeness-speech laws.

"I’m not sure how thoroughly this will be enforced, but couldn’t such a law place about 95 percent of all couples behind bars?"

Not so say some sources. France 24 says there will be evidence to support claims.

"Now the judge would come up with this verdict based on facts like text messages, abusive text messages, emails, uh you know medical evidence proving that the victims has had depression for example."

The law is expected to get final passage this summer.

So, do you think the law will be enforced? Will measures like electronic tags help decrease domestic violence in France?
