A year ago, the government organized a Grenelle devoted to domestic violence.

Laura Rapp, victim of her former spouse, calls today for a vast reform of the justice which lacks means and training.

"We are not going far enough at all," she regrets on Europe 1.

INTERVIEW

Her former partner beat her, insulted her, strangled her and even nearly killed her in front of their two-and-a-half-year-old daughter.

A year ago, on the occasion of the Grenelle organized by the government on domestic violence, Laura Rapp delivered a poignant testimony to the microphone of Europe 1. A year later, the young woman got involved in the field.

And if she sees improvements, she also regrets that there is no more important reform of the justice system. 

"We're not going far enough at all" ...

"There are lives that are saved. There is also an awareness of magistrates, prosecutors. We can see it", recognizes Laura Rapp.

"But we're not going far enough at all."

The young woman was chased by her ex-husband when he was released pending trial.

He violated her judicial review several times and attempted to attack her.

"The investigating judge never answered the calls of my lawyer", denounces Laura Rapp today.

"We need a structural reform of justice."

Recalling that today, "80% of complaints [for domestic violence] are dismissed", the young woman also believes that "does not protect children who are victims".

"And we won't be able to protect the mother until we protect the children."

... in particular on the deprivation of parental rights

Laura Rapp particularly regrets that her ex-spouse was not deprived of her parental rights.

It notes that the LR bill carried by Aurélien Pradié, adopted in December, marks "a step forward" in this area.

In fact, this text confirms the automatic suspension of parental authority in the event of a crime or prosecution for a crime.

"But it's a six-month suspension in the event of femicide," says Laura Rapp.

"Today, in France, you have to die [to get] a six-month suspension."

The young woman also calls for specialized courts, believing that the judges in Family Affairs do not have time to properly assess the situation.

"The judge does not even look at the criminal case. Magistrates also still tend to say that a violent man can be a good father."
