The Jean Bru house in Agen, the first place in France to welcome girls who are victims of incest, will open an annex at the beginning of March for boys who have suffered intra-family sexual violence, we learned this week from the management. .

The system provides seven places for young people aged 10 to 14, accompanied by a supervisory team of seven people and a child psychiatrist, with a gradual increase in admissions.

Registration files are guided by the childcare services of the various funding departments, including Lot-et-Garonne.

We went (in 2022) from an approval of 25 young girls to 36 girls and boys, granted by the departmental council

”, indicated to an AFP correspondent William Touzanne, director of the Jean Bru house, which welcomes currently 28 young girls from 10 to 19 years old.

160,000 minors victims of sexual violence each year

The boys so far were either still with their families or caught up in child protection systems, but we have been called upon for a long time

The Department of Lot-et-Garonne has reaffirmed its support for our association and we felt that the opening of a service for boys was possible, this translates into the granting of additional financial means for an operating budget of 2.1 million

,” he says.

The CIIVISE (Independent Commission on Incest and Sexual Violence Against Children) in an interim report published in March 2022, estimates that 160,000 minors are victims of sexual violence each year, 10% of whom are boys.

“Until then, the boys have not been sufficiently taken into account”

There is a great step forward in recognizing the victim status of boys.

Girls tend to free up their voices at key moments in their lives, but until then, boys have not been sufficiently taken into account

,” emphasizes Laëtitia Garimbay, the coordinator of the future boys' division.

The boys will live in a house separate from the one founded in 1996 to accommodate girls who are victims of incest by Doctor Nicole Bru, ex-CEO of the pharmaceutical group Upsa, which for a long time was the only one in France.

In Agen, the girls are followed by specialized educators, educational and social support workers, housewives, night supervisors and two child psychiatrists.
