Child abuse in Europe: Victims' groups launch initiative to come to terms with European abuse cases
At an international meeting in Switzerland, victims' groups from all over Europe launched the large-scale "Justice Initiative". With this political initiative, abuse of children, especially in state and church institutions, is to be comprehensively dealt with for the first time in all European countries. A motion to bring the processing of abuse cases up to a pan-European level will be submitted to the Council of Europe in Strasbourg in September. The European initiative is supported by the Swiss “Guido Fluri Foundation”, which has already successfully led a campaign in Switzerland to come to terms with child abuse.
