Paris' new mayor Emmanuel Grégoire has promised to address child abuse in after-school programs, citing personal experience as a victim of abuse in an after-school program. The issue is a major concern in France, with cases reported nationwide. The new mayor's commitment comes after he made his personal experience public last September.

Paris' new mayor Emmanuel Grégoire officially started on March 30. His first promise has been to tackle child abuse in after-school programmes, an issue that was at the centre of the latest municipal elections. Emmanuel Grégoire was himself a victim of abuse in an after-school programme, which he made public last September. The issue is not specific to Paris - cases have appeared all over France.
