Happn and France's Justice Ministry partner to address online abuse
Happn and France’s Justice Ministry have formed a partnership to help people facing abuse online.
Soon, users of the dating app will see a link to the ministry’s “Je suis victime” platform in their profile feed and messages.
The platform guides victims of violence, harassment, discrimination and property offences to support, and has been available through justice.fr since 2025.
The ministry says the partnership will make support more visible in the dating-app setting, where women make up most cases of cyberviolence with a sexist or sexual character.
Happn is based in Paris and says it has 175 million users worldwide.
The link will appear in users’ feeds and messages, though no specific launch date is given.
