Sexism continues to remain alarming in France and it happens in all areas and according to a report the situation is getting worse. Women have become targets of new forms of harassment, including online violence, verbal abuse on social media, and pornography with barbaric content.

According to a survey conducted by the High Authority for Equality in France, there was a reaction from men to the #MeToo movement, they demanded that women be silent, or else they would be discredited. The conducted survey has raised the concern that situations of violence and harassment have become alarming.

In this study, where 2,500 people participated, it was found that sexist behavior is becoming more frequent in all spheres and that it is men who think that violent and discriminatory behavior is acceptable. Older men generally maintain their conservative attitudes, while younger men have shown aggressive behavior.

While among girls aged 18-24 when they were asked, about 22% said they had suffered from psychological violence or excessive jealousy, a similar figure was also among women aged 50-64. Another finding from this study is that more than a third of French women (37%), who participated in the study, have been sexually abused by their partner.

Of the 18-24 year olds surveyed, 22% answered that they had been victims of a sexual assault or rape.

Although there have been many awareness campaigns about violence and discrimination, prejudice, gender stereotypes and sexism are still very common.

The president of the High Authority for Equality, Sylvie Pierre-Brossolette, said it was the first time such a survey had been conducted in France.

"We wanted to do for sexism what has been done for racism. It is not enough to protect women and punish men. If we don't address the roots of everyday sexism and change the mindset, we will never move forward. We can't just condemn the situation, we have to change it," she said in an interview.

She said the authorities should take stricter measures to combat sexism, violence and harassment online.

"Everyday sexism leads to violent sexism," she added
