“A collective approach”: for Neige Sinno, CIIVISE and the authors move forward together against incest

In a recent interview with PublicationNeige Sinno, the author of Sad tigershared his enthusiasm for the final report of the Independent Commission on Incest and Sexual Violence against Children (CIIVISE). Quoted in the report in question, the writer highlights the importance of this work in the fight against incest and sexual violence against children.

The author, awarded the Femina prize, described it “Magnificent” this CIIVISE report, presented on November 17. His summary was presented publicly on November 20, World Children’s Day, along with the announcement of thea new government plan against violence against children. “This report is magnificent because I will be able to mobilize it among those who ask me, to tell them that I have read reflections there that have been useful to me”the author declared.

From “I” to “we”: a collective struggle

In this interview, Neige Sinno confided that he used the work of CIIVISE as a tool to write his book, which is both a personal narrative of his incest experience and an essay on sexual violence. She explains that the commission’s data allowed her to understand the collective scope of its problemthus deconstructing distorted representations : “One in ten people is a victim of incest, these results help society to integrate it. »

“I had this fear that by telling my story only from my point of view, others wouldn’t feel reflected”, she also confided, before mentioning her colleagues including Vanessa Springora (Consent) and Camille Kouchner (The large family):

We are just at the beginning and we are trying to pass the baton, to give as many points of view as possible so that as a society we finally ask ourselves this question. This is all the more crucial as there are so many of us.

When a reader notices it“It’s terrible [mon] the father-in-law is still in the wild”, I answer“there are 5 million adult victims, therefore 5 million potential attackers”.
