#MeTooIncest: what will the future of CIIVISE look like?

While the renewal of the Independent Commission on Incest and Sexual Violence against Children (CIIVISE) was confirmed by Charlotte Caubel, Secretary of State for Children, the executive has yet to confirm the terms of this new mandate. New presidency, expanded missions? Doubts hover over the contours of this vital mission, and the next few days promise to be decisive.

A new roadmap. » This is what awaits the Independent Commission on Incest and Sexual Violence against Children (CIIVISE), whose uncertain future worries the associations. Asked about this by the JDD On Sunday 19 November, Charlotte Caubel, Secretary of State for Children, confirmed that CIIVISE will indeed be renewed, but with a broader scope of action… and perhaps a new casting?

In the confusion of action

Co-chaired by juvenile judge Édouard Durand and the director of the association Nathalie Mathieu, CIIVISE was born in March 2021, immediately after the shock wave caused by the book The large family by Camille Kouchner, who accused her father-in-law, the political scientist Olivier Duhamel, of repeatedly raping her twin brother.

In more than two years of existence, the commission has collected almost 30,000 testimonies and issued a multitude of recommendations aimed at guiding public policies in this area to strengthen the chain of protection of victims. The latest report was published on Friday 17 November, a document of 82 recommendations to combat this phenomenon “mass crime” which affects 160,000 children every year.

While the executive remains vague about the form this renewal will take, Charlotte Caubel hopes that CIIVISE’s mission will extend beyond the issue of incest: “We must now address other essential issues, in my opinion: the impact of online juvenile crime on real juvenile crime, access to pornography and therefore the sexual education of our childrenhe listed. There is also child prostitution, which is becoming a huge issue. »

Another question mark is the fate of media judge Durand, whose future at the helm of Ciivise seems fragile, despite the strong support of child protection associations. As summarized Theywave, “His media aura, the repeated questioning of the dysfunctions of the judicial treatment of sexual violence and his independence are annoying, according to observers.”

Monday 20 November, on the occasion of the International Children’s Rights DayThe government will have to present a 22-part plan against violence against children, which will be carefully examined.
