In September 2023, in a report on the State's gender equality policy, the Court of Accounts concluded that only limited progress had been made in this area. In French Polynesia and New Caledonia, where domestic violence is more prevalent than in public spaces, the situation is worse than in most other French territories. Local governments have only recently become aware of the scale of the resources needed to combat this violence and provide better care for victims. The progress expected in this area requires a stronger partnership within local authorities, so that the public policies involved in this fight are consistent. This report is a summary of the work carried out by the territorial chamber of accounts of New Caledonia and French Polynesia. These checks have enabled us to understand the phenomenon in these areas and to assess the public policies in place.
