Rape in France

Okay, kiddo, let's talk about something very serious but important. Rape is when someone forces someone else to do something they don't want to do with their body. In France (which is a country), there are laws that say rape is very wrong and the people who do it can go to jail for a long time.

It's important to know that sometimes people don't understand what 'no' means or they think they can do whatever they want because they have more power or control. But that is never okay. No one should ever have to do something with their body that they don't want to do.

In France, they have programs that teach people about what rape is and how to prevent it from happening. They also have places called rape crisis centers where people can get help and support if they have been raped or sexually assaulted.

It's a very sad and serious topic, but it's important to talk about it so we can help keep people safe and make sure that no one gets hurt in this way.
