In response to sexual assault cases in after-school care, Paris mayor Emmanuel Grégoire announced a 20 million euro action plan. The plan features a citizens' convention on child protection and school times. Work starts on May 18 with results expected mid-June.
On April 14, during his first Paris Council meeting as mayor, Emmanuel Grégoire unveiled a 'plan d’action contre les violences faites aux enfants' worth 20 million euros. The plan addresses numerous sexual violence cases against minors in Paris after-school care.
The City of Paris describes the citizens' convention on 'child protection and school times' as 'one of the central pillars' of this initiative. The convention's work will begin on May 18, with an initial report due mid-June.
This consultation will tackle school rhythms, a divisive issue in Paris. Interests differ among children, parents, teachers, animators, and the municipality, in a city run by the socialist left for 25 years.
