'Entire system is broken': Lyhanna's death reveals 'systemic failures' in France's judicial system

François Picard is pleased to welcome Solène Podevin-Favre, president of the "Face à l'inceste" advocacy and support group and former co-director of the Ciivise, an independent commission set up in 2021 to come up with proposals to fight sexual abuse of children in France. According to Podevin-Favre, the murder of 11-year-old Lyhanna is not an isolated tragedy. It is a "systemic failure" that has been repeatedly identified, documented and reported for years. For our guest, the central problem is not a lack of evidence, expertise, recommendations or even financial solutions. The suspect in the murder of Lyhanna had been the subject of multiple complaints and investigations involving allegations of sexual abuse of minors, supported by medical evidence, dating back to at least 2017.
