The "abuse crisis" and sexual violence in the Church have shown the need to develop listening, attention to others, kindness, etc. What prevention and alert systems can be put in place to ensure the protection of people? In our churches and elsewhere, we must learn to look out for one another. Marie Derain de Vaucresson will share her experience with the Scouts de France and the National Compensation, Recognition and Reparation Authority (INIRR) as an invitation to understand and take action.
