Laurence Rossignol (born 22 December 1957) is a French politician. She served as a member of the French Senate from 2011 to 2014, representing Oise.[1] Rossignol became the Secretary of State for the Family, Senior Citizens and Autonomy in 2014.[2] In 2015, she defended the government's policy of testing the bones of foreign minors to determine their age.[3] She has served as the Minister of Families, Children and Women's Rights from February 2016 to May 2017.[1][4] In 2016, she compared Islamic women who chose to wear veils to "negroes who were for slavery". This attracted controversy on social media.[5]
