This Thursday, May 2, under the tear-soaked eyes of the actress, who has become a flag bearer in the fight against sexual violence against minors in the field of film production, the deputies voted in favor of the creation of an investigative commission.
At her second hearing in the National Assembly on April 4, Judith Godrech declared that it was “only a whisper, a muffled cry”. But this Thursday, May 2, the actress was heard. At his request, MPs unanimously voted to create a commission of inquiry that would be responsible for investigating “abuses and violence” in cinema, audiovisual, live performances, fashion and advertising. The actress responded on Instagram by posting a video of herself right after the vote. We see her in the skirt stands, moved to tears, a big smile on her face. Therefore, tears of happiness for the one who filed a complaint against the directors Benoit Jaco and Jacques Doillon for the rape of a minor. He is also the one who carried on both shoulders the voice of 6,000 testimonies of victims of violence that he received after his appeal on social networks. “THANK YOU! We are a crowd. At the dawn of a new day,” he wrote in the title of his post.
“We are going to act because it is urgent”
After the vote, some members of the assembly spoke to welcome the result. In particular, the head of the children’s rights delegation, Perin Gulen. After Judith Godresh’s first hearing in the Assembly, on March 14, the deputy of the Ministry of Defense told her: “. True to his words, he once again wanted to address the actress. “Dear Judith, if others didn’t listen to you, we listened to you, we MPs,” he declared at the semi-circle microphone. So today we’re going to do better than listen to you. We are going to act because it is urgent.”
At Franceinfo, Judith Godrech was also delighted with the result of this vote and “this place that is given in this National Assembly, where laws are voted and thought, to all the technicians, to all the young actresses, to all the young actors who. are in silence or have been subjected to violence; “I fought with my little means,” added the actress. There should be an opportunity for those people to testify anonymously because they are afraid. And it is also necessary that “people answer the questions under oath while filming”, he insisted.
