The Loiret is mobilizing more and more to try to put an end to domestic violence.
The department had already adopted the violentometer, a tool to help measure domestic violence.
It appeared in particular on bread packaging or drugstore bags all over France.
This tool is graduated from green for “all is well”, to red “ask for help”, passing through orange for “vigilance, say stop”.
It is addressed to the victims but also to their entourage and even to the perpetrators of this violence.
It has been adapted for children, reports France 3 Center-Val-de-Loire.
Because the latter are also victims of domestic violence.
Fourteen died in France in 2020.
Help children to verbalize
The new violentometer is in the form of a plasticized and graduated ruler developed with psychologists.
This project was born thanks to Florence Galzin, vice-president of the Department in charge of youth and child protection, and to professionals in the field in Loiret.
This version of the violentometer has two ambitions: to make adults aware of the psychological impact of domestic violence on children and to help young victims to verbalize this violence.
The impact of the tool will be difficult to quantify, but Florence Galzin hopes "to reach at least ten children, that will be good".
