The Paris city council on Tuesday adopted a €20 million action plan to tackle sexual abuse during after-school activities after several scandals. Hailed by child welfare groups and parents, the plan includes simplifying the chain of reporting, redesigning "sensitive" spaces in schools and providing special training for activity leaders.
Newly elected Socialist mayor Emmanuel Grégoire said the issue was the "absolute priority" for his first term in office, following a series of cases of sexual abuse of minors.
