Record Number of Calls

The emergency number 3919 for violence victims registered over 108 thousand calls in 2025. This is another year in which a record number of reports was set, indicating growing victim awareness and an increasing tendency to seek help.

Dominance of Domestic Violence

A detailed analysis of reports shows that as many as 92 percent of contacts to the line concerned conjugal violence, i.e., physical, psychological, or sexual violence perpetrated by a current or former partner.

Steady Upward Trend

The increase in the number of calls by almost 8 percent within a year fits into a long-term trend of increasing activity on this helpline. This data shows both the growing scale of the problem and the effectiveness of information campaigns about available help.

The French emergency number 3919, dedicated to women experiencing violence, received over 108 thousand reports last year. This number represents an increase of almost 8 percent compared to 2024 and marks another record in the history of this free, 24/7 helpline. This data, published in the first days of March 2026 by the line's operator and cited by major French media, confirms the persistently high scale of violence against women in France. Detailed statistics reveal an alarming picture of the dominant form of this violence. Nearly 92 percent of all received calls concerned situations of conjugal violence. This means that in the vast majority of cases, the aggressor was the woman's current or former partner calling for help. This high percentage confirms that the domestic space, instead of being a safe place, often becomes the environment of greatest threat. The operators of line 3919 offer immediate psychological support, legal information, and direct women to appropriate local services – 3919 thus serves as a key first point of contact in the system for combating violence. The published numbers fit into a long-term upward trend in the activity of this helpline, observed for many years. On one hand, this may indicate increased social awareness of the problem and a greater willingness of victims to seek help. On the other hand, the continuous increase in reports indicates that the scale of violence, especially domestic violence, is not decreasing, despite preventive and assistance measures undertaken by public authorities and non-governmental organizations. France, like many other European countries, struggles with the challenge of effectively protecting victims and breaking the cycle of violence in families. Data from line 3919 is one of the most important indicators for monitoring this social problem.
