Ciivise, an independent commission focused on addressing incest and sexual violence against children, has urged the government to propose an amendment that would extend access to a specialized care pathway for adults who were victims of sexual violence or incest during their childhood. This care pathway is designed to provide psychotrauma treatment, which is covered by health insurance. The National Assembly is currently reviewing a new, "comprehensive" law aimed at combating sexual and sexist violence, with discussions taking place in committee. While Ciivise acknowledges the progress made in recognizing a coordinated care pathway for trauma survivors, it has expressed concerns that the current version of the proposed law does not fully align with the real-world experiences and needs of survivors. The commission points out that its recommendations regarding the care pathway were not incorporated into the drafting of the law. This has raised concerns about the effectiveness of the proposed measures in addressing the long-term mental health needs of victims. According to Ciivise, many survivors do not come forward until adulthood, often around the age of 44. This delay is attributed to factors such as traumatic amnesia, feelings of shame, and psychological control mechanisms that can suppress memories of abuse for years. The commission has collected testimonies from over 30,000 victims during its work, highlighting the long-term impact of such trauma and the need for accessible, specialized care. The call for an amendment underscores the importance of ensuring that legal frameworks reflect the complex realities of survivors' experiences. By extending care access to adults, the proposed change aims to bridge the gap between policy and practice, offering support to those who may only seek help many years after the abuse occurred.
