Platform “Classés sans suite” collects anonymous testimonies from victims of sexual violence

Paris – June 15, 2026: Amid ongoing debate over the handling of sexual violence cases in France, journalist and activist Ève Simonet has launched the platform “Classés sans suite.” The initiative aims to reveal the systemic nature and widespread reality of sexual violence. The platform provides a space where victims can anonymously share their experiences, whether or not they have filed a complaint. “The aim is to show the enormous and systemic scale of sexual violence,” Simenet explains. She emphasizes that the platform serves as a “citizens’ archive,” preventing such testimonies from being buried without being heard. Since its launch, the platform has received a remarkable response. In just three days, it collected more than 1,660 testimonies and recorded over 55,000 visits. These figures demonstrate both the urgency of such an initiative and society’s strong willingness to confront the issue. The motivation behind “Classés sans suite” is a response to repeated reports of inadequate judicial handling of sexual violence cases. Simenet points to the striking statistic that around 86% of sexual violence complaints in France between 2012 and 2021 were dismissed without further investigation. These figures raise questions about the effectiveness and sensitivity of the current system. The platform not only gives victims a voice, but also serves as a valuable resource for researchers, journalists, and policymakers. By analyzing the collected testimonies, patterns and recurring issues that indicate systemic weaknesses can be identified. Nevertheless, critics warn of risks such as the spread of misinformation and violations of privacy. Simenet stresses that strict security measures are in place to ensure users’ anonymity and protection. The platform works closely with experts to ensure that the collected data is handled responsibly and respectfully. “Classés sans suite” is not merely a collection of testimonies, but a call to action. It calls on society and institutions to take their responsibilities seriously, stand by victims, and take the necessary measures to prevent future harm. The initiative has already gained broad support on social media, receiving thousands of shares and positive reactions. This indicates growing awareness of the issue and a strong desire for change.
