FFCRIAVS

The Fédération Française des CRIAVS (FFCRIAVS) is the national federation of Centres Ressources pour les Intervenants auprès des Auteurs de Violences Sexuelles, a network of public-service resource centres in France. It supports professionals working with people who have committed sexual violence and promotes prevention through expertise, training, research, and collaboration.

Through its network, the federation helps provide initial and continuing professional education, research and discussion on care and follow-up, and practical support for clinical questions. Its centres also offer information and documentation resources and foster cooperation among health, justice, and social-support services. The FFCRIAVS shares professional tools, publications, documentary bulletins, and guidance materials, and organises national study days and public hearings. Its 2025 public hearing focused on pathways for minors who commit sexual violence.

The federation also promotes prevention initiatives, including S.T.O.P., a confidential, non-premium-rate telephone orientation and prevention service where health professionals respond to callers. In partnership with French and international organisations, it contributes to ethical guidance for helplines and support for people seeking help to prevent sexual violence.
