Question 15217 — children

Summary

Ms. Florence Provendier questions the Minister of Solidarity and Health about the ministry's overall strategy for child protection. Serena and Marina, both 8 years old, victims of domestic violence. Andréa Bescond, abused during her youth by “a family friend”, is the director of the film Les Chatouilles which recounts her ordeal. The list is long, and the legal and cultural news is full of this same atrocity, the violence against the youngest. Three years ago, the General Assembly of the United Nations, through the voice of its 193 members, adopted 17 millennium development goals. Among these crucial issues, objective 16.2 aimed to put an end to abuse, exploitation, trafficking, and all forms of violence and torture of which children are victims. Three years after the commitments of 2015, and if the statistics are sometimes complicated to obtain, it is clear that the indicators continue to be worrying. Thus, every week in France, two children die as a result of violence inflicted within the family. While some die silently in their families, others do so in the street: the Assembly of French Departments thus recorded a significant increase in more than 200% of unaccompanied foreign minors, with more than 40,000 receptions in 2018, compared to 25,000 in 2017 and 13,000 in 2016. At a time when the Government is preparing a law for 2019 intended to combat educational violence at the root, she asks if she can specify the ministry's overall strategy in terms of child protection.
