“I hope that the work of the Civil Society will continue, with a new roadmap.” The Independent Commission on Incest and Sexual Violence Against Children (Ciivise) should continue to exist with expanded missions, assured, Sunday, November 19, the Secretary of State for Children, Charlotte Caubel, in an interview with JDD. The minister is speaking on the eve of the government’s announcement of a 22-part plan against violence against children. It will nevertheless not be limited to sexual violence but will provide an assessment and the perspectives of the interministerial committee for children.
La Ciivise submitted its final report to the government on Friday, which proposes 82 recommendations to fight incest, “mass crime” which affects, according to her, 160,000 children each year.
“A revolution to accomplish to protect our children”
According to Charlotte Caubel, the Ciivise aims to continue to exist but by broadening its missions, notably beyond the sole question of incest. “We must now address other essential subjects in my opinion: the impact of online child crime on real child crime, access to pornography and therefore the sexuality education of our childrenshe listed. There is also the prostitution of minors, which is becoming a huge subject.” “We still have a revolution to accomplish to protect our children”, she says.
This declaration also comes at a time when associations fear for the sustainability of this organization, chaired by children’s judge Edouard Durand and association manager Nathalie Mathieu. La Ciivise was created in March 2021, in the wake of the shock wave caused by the book The big family by Camille Kouchner, in which she accuses her father-in-law, the political scientist Olivier Duhamel, of raping her twin brother. In the space of two years, the commission collected nearly 30,000 testimonies.
If you are a child in danger, if you are a person who witnesses or suspects sexual violence against a child or if you wish to seek advice, there is a national telephone number for children in danger: 119, open 24/7. The call is free and the number is not visible on telephone bills.
It is also possible to send a written message to 119 via the online form or to get in touch via an online chat: allo119.gouv.fr.
For deaf and hard of hearing people, a specific system is available on the website allo119.gouv.fr.
