CIIVISE

What CIIVISE does

CIIVISE (Commission Indépendante sur l'Inceste et les Violences Sexuelles faites aux Enfants) is an independent French government commission established in 2020 and headquartered at 14 avenue Duquesne, 75007 Paris, under the Secretary General of the Ministries responsible for Social Affairs. Its statutory mission is to hear victims of incest and sexual violence in childhood and to formulate evidence-based improvements to French public policy on child protection. Operationally, the commission runs a national, free, anonymous phone helpline (0 805 802 804) outsourced to the Collectif Féministe Contre le Viol (CFCV), accepts written testimonies via a dedicated email channel, and has accumulated tens of thousands of victim testimonies since 2020. It published a landmark public report in November 2023, "Violences sexuelles faites aux enfants : On vous croit," containing 82 policy recommendations, and delivered an implementation assessment to ministers in June 2026. The commission collaborates with academic research partners (Université d'Angers TEMOS laboratory, Sorbonne Paris Nord LEPS), training partner EHESP, the Protection Judiciaire de la Jeunesse (PJJ), and youth engagement partners (COFRADE, CAMELEON, Mairie de Marseille, Planning Familial 13). It employs 16 people and operates under periodic mission letters from the government, with the current mandate extended through October 2026.

CIIVISE does not sell commercial products or services; all outputs are free public goods. Revenue derives entirely from French government ministries (social affairs, justice, health), and the entity has no private ownership, investors, or funding rounds. Its product surface consists of the testimony helpline, written testimony intake, policy reports and recommendations, professional training materials (including the "Mélissa et les autres" booklet and short film), a youth engagement program (Groupe Miroir, launched November 2024), and a public sensitization module co-developed with EHESP. Distribution is domestic (France only) via the official website ciivise.fr, LinkedIn and Twitter/X channels, press releases, public events, and government channels.

The commission is structurally evolving: in February 2025 it published a report on its transition into common law (droit commun), and in May 2025 announced readiness to evolve toward independent administrative authority (autorité administrative indépendante) status, signaling an intent to convert its time-limited mandate into permanent institutional standing.

Broad incumbents

• e-Enfance: French association protecting children from digital and sexual violence, partner with CIIVISE on the joint CIIVISE/e-Enfance inquiry — operates in the same child protection domain with complementary digital safety focus.
• Collectif Féministe Contre le Viol (CFCV): French feminist collective operating the 0 805 802 804 helpline on CIIVISE's behalf. A direct operational partner and the established specialist NGO in the same victim-support domain.
• Défenseur des droits: France's independent constitutional authority for defending citizen rights, including children's rights — represents the broader institutional model toward which CIIVISE's evolution to AAI status is heading.

Others

• Protection Judiciaire de la Jeunesse (PJJ): French judicial youth protection authority that signed a 2024 partnership convention with CIIVISE to listen to minor victims — an institutional ecosystem partner rather than a competitor.
• EHESP (École des hautes études en santé publique): CIIVISE's strategic training partner developing a public sensitization module on incest and child sexual violence. Adjacent in education rather than direct competition, but a key enabling partner.

Direct peers

• Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA): The UK statutory inquiry into child sexual abuse (2015-2022) that collected victim testimonies and published policy recommendations — the closest international analogue to CIIVISE in mandate, methodology, and output type.
• Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry: Scottish statutory inquiry examining historical child abuse in care settings, collecting testimonies and producing policy recommendations — comparable in function and victim-centered methodology to CIIVISE.
• Independent Commissioner for Child Sexual Abuse Issues (UBSKM): Germany's federal independent commissioner office working on child sexual abuse policy, victim engagement, and prevention — operates as a permanent governmental body addressing the same policy domain as CIIVISE.
• Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse: Australia's 2013-2017 Royal Commission investigated institutional responses to child sexual abuse, collected thousands of testimonies, and produced extensive policy recommendations — a near-perfect structural peer to CIIVISE.

Regional players

• Commission for the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO): Indian statutory framework and commission structure for child sexual abuse prevention and victim protection — operates in the same domain internationally but within a different legal and policy system.
