Progress through data, policy, and investment

France has taken important legislative steps to protect children from all forms of sexual violence. The Penal Code explicitly criminalizes sexual acts against minors up to 18 when committed by a person in a position of authority, with aggravated penalties for intrafamilial child sexual abuse. 

It also clearly criminalizes all forms child sexual exploitation, including the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring and receipt of a child for exploitative purposes. These legal protections are reinforced by dedicated law enforcement units within the National Police and the National Gendarmerie responsible for investigating sexual violence against children.

In 2020, France became a pathfinding country making a formal government commitment to accelerate efforts to end violence against children. Building on this, the government launched the 2023–2027 National Action Plan to Combat Violence Against Children with 22 concrete actions to protect all children from any form of violence, including sexual violence. 

In 2025, France introduced a nationwide education programme on emotional, relational and sexual life aimed at addressing violence and harassment by strengthening children’s ability to seek help. 

Civil society has played a major role in advancing prevention and response efforts in the country. Since 2024, BeBraveFrance has led the advocacy efforts around a potential survivor council in France. Consultations on this initiative are currently underway at the ministerial level around this project, marking an important opportunity to make sure survivor voices are integrated in policy making

What remains: Closing the gaps in protection

Leadership comes with responsibility. By addressing gaps, such as:

  • Creating a National Action Plan that addresses online sexual violence against children and adolescents
  • Establishing a national survivors council
  • Mandating medical provider training on identifying and responding to sexual violence against children
  • Setting the minimum age of sexual consent and marriage to age 18
