What happens after the request: registration, family handling, major support and rights where officially stated?

If the file filed at the prefecture is complete, a receipt is issued pending the decision. The private-and-family-life card authorises residence and work without the employer needing a work authorisation; the temporary card is valid for 1 year, and where a complaint has been filed against the perpetrator the card is renewed automatically for the duration of the criminal proceedings.

Which competent authority, UN body or official assistance channel should the person use?

The competent authority is the prefecture (or sub-prefecture) of the place of residence, where the application is filed with the complaint receipt or reference to the criminal proceedings.
