The start of the school year in France brings a new measure to combat sexual violence in schools. The annual school bullying questionnaire, traditionally carried out in November, will now include questions about sexual violence.
This change comes in the context of growing concern about cases of sexual violence in French schools. The educational authorities thus intend to collect more data on this issue and better identify cases that occur in the school environment.
Students will be able to participate in the questionnaire opting for anonymity, which aims to encourage more honest responses and facilitate the reporting of abuse situations.
With this measure, the French government hopes to create a more complete instrument to monitor and combat sexual violence among students, contributing to a safer school environment.
