Setting up a working group with the DGDE

A major step forward: our collaboration with the General Delegate for Children’s Rights

As part of our work to protect and defend children, we recently met the General Delegate for Children’s Rights. This constructive meeting marks a key milestone in our work on the ground.

Together with other committed partner organisations — notably Ensemble contre l’inceste and Patouche — we have agreed on a shared, structured way of working.

A structured approach along two strategic lines

To act with the greatest precision, our work is organised around two complementary areas of expertise:

1. The psychosocial strand: studying and analysing the child’s path, care and support from the moment they speak out.
2. The legal strand: examining the procedures, the legal framework and the judicial mechanisms once the abuse is reported.

Our main goal

The aim of this collaboration is clear: to pinpoint the failures, obstacles and gaps that arise when a child reports incest, on both the human and the legal side.

Drawing on this map of the difficulties on the ground, we will put forward concrete proposals and targeted recommendations to the competent institutions and authorities, to lastingly improve the care, protection and recognition of child victims.

Together, united with our partners and the institutions, we keep carrying children’s voices and changing practices towards real protection.
