Following Strasbourg, Marseille and Bordeaux, on 16 June 2026 Toulouse became the fourth territorial directorate of the French Office for Immigration and Integration (OFII) to sign the charter for the protection of female asylum seekers who are victims of different forms of violence and human trafficking.
The charter is based on three commitments which are common to the previous signatures of the other respective territorial directorates:
- The appointment of a representative by each organisation;
- The implementation of a joint training strategy to strengthen a shared understanding of violence against women; and
- Enhanced operational coordination to streamline exchanges and facilitate the management of complex situations
The objectives set out in the charter demonstrate a clear commitment to detect, support and protect vulnerable women throughout the asylum procedure, including through the provision of emergency accommodation.
