Planning Familial Co-founder Accused of Sexual Violence, Inquiry Launched

Following allegations from 1961, the organization seeks testimonies to uncover potential abuses by Dr. Henri Fabre.

  • The Planning Familial has initiated a call for testimonies after a woman accused Dr. Henri Fabre of sexual violence during a consultation in 1961.
  • The organization is establishing a confidential system for victims to report similar experiences, focusing on the period from 1961 to 1975.
  • Dr. Henri Fabre, who co-founded the Planning Familial and passed away in 2012, is the central figure in these allegations.
  • The movement aims to investigate why prior reports from 2021 were not acted upon more swiftly.
  • The inquiry is supported by Egaé, a group specializing in preventing sexual violence, echoing their work with Emmaüs on similar issues.
