I hope that the work of Ciivise will continue, with a new roadmap," said Secretary of State Charlotte Caubel in an interview with the JDD.
Chaired by juvenile judge Edouard Durand and association leader Nathalie Mathieu, the Ciivise was created in March 2021, in the wake of the shock wave caused by the book "La Familia Grande" by Camille Kouchner, accusing her father-in-law, the political scientist Olivier Duhamel, of raping her twin brother.
In the space of two years, the commission has collected nearly 30,000 testimonies and submitted a report to the government with 82 recommendations to combat this "mass crime" which, according to it, affects 160,000 children each year.
But until now, the executive had maintained a lack of clarity about the future of this commission, to the great concern of associations who want it to continue its work.
According to Charlotte Caubel, the Ciivise is intended to continue to exist but by broadening its missions, in particular beyond the sole issue of incest.

Charlotte Caubel also gave no indication of the fate of Judge Durand, defended by a number of associations but whose future at the head of the Ciivise seems fragile.
According to observers, his media aura, his repeated questioning of the dysfunctions of the judicial treatment of sexual violence and his independence.
