The structures receiving support from the Ministry of Culture are required, from 2022, to commit to the fight against gender and sexual violence and harassment (GBV) and to respect their obligations.
Presentation of the device
What is the plan to combat HSV?
The Ministry of Culture makes the payment of its financial aid conditional on the fulfilment of the commitments made by the recipients of grants in the fight against HSV (sexual and gender-based violence and harassment). This conditionality of aid is part of the HSV control plan proposed by the Ministry of Culture for the performing and visual arts sector.
The fight against sexual and gender-based violence has been consolidated by the law of 3 August 2018, known as "Schiappa law". In particular, it strengthens the criminal law governing HSV and the resulting convictions.
Any person or structure applying for a Ministry of Culture grant must now:
- describe the measures it has taken to comply with its legal obligations to prevent and act against HSV
- commit to the implementation of HSV prevention and treatment measures specified in the Ministry of Culture’s HSV control plan

For the record, the five commitments expected from the requesting structure are:
- Comply with legal obligations regarding health, safety and sexual harassment
- Train, as of 2022, management, supervisors, HR managers and designated persons in charge of speech collection and management of VHSS situations
- Formally sensitize teams and organise risk prevention
- Create an effective reporting mechanism and process every report received
- Initiate monitoring and evaluation of VHSS actions
Proceeding
If the Ministry of Culture grants aid, the VHSS form completed by the beneficiary will be attached to the grant agreement or decree. It will be worth the structure’s commitment to implement the actions described as the “structure’s action plan”.
A detailed assessment of the actions carried out will be required from the beneficiary at the end of the subsidised project or each year for the multi annual grants. The production of this balance sheet will condition the possible renewal of the subsidy.
