About Fighting Rape Culture
The "Me Too" movement has been very effective in highlighting the widespread prevalence and horrific realities of sexual violence globally. The WHO estimates that 1 out of 3 women has suffered from sexual violence. I strongly believe that in order to solve an issue, we need to understand its root causes and then take actions to solve it. I also believe that, as a society, we have both the power to fight against this problem as well as a responsibility to do it. The aim of this podcast will thus be to look at the issue from a variety of different angles and identify opportunities for actions.

Episode 17. The Alchemy of Pain: Transforming Sexual Trauma into Purpose — With Veronica Lynn Clark, Intimacy Empowerment & Sexual Healing Expert
The worst part of sexual trauma is that it blocks our ability to receive, it makes us want to hide away our truest Self, it shatters us in a million broken pieces… So where do we go from there?

Special BE! Episode 15. Deepfakes à caractère sexuel, revenge porn et injustice systémique — Avec Me Clémence Merveille, Avocate au barreau de Bruxelles
Et si le plus grand danger des nouvelles technologies n'était pas l'intelligence artificielle, mais l'utilisation qu'en font certains êtres humains ? Les cas de "revenge porn" et de deepfakes pornographiques se multiplient. Des photos volées, des visages greffés sur des corps nus inconnus par IA, et c'est toute une vie qui est détruite. La justice est-elle capable de suivre ? Et surtout,protège-t-elle toutes les victimes de la même manière ? La Belgique s'est dotée de lois pour punir ces cyberviolences. Diffuser des images intimes sans consentement est une infraction pénale, passible de lourdes amendes et pouvant mener jusqu'à 5 ans de prison. Mais dans les faits, sont-elles vraiment appliquées ? Que faire concrètement quand on est victime? Comment retrouver la trace des images et les faire disparaître d'Internet ? Et si la police vous dit que "rien ne peut être fait", a-t-elle raison ? Pire encore : comment le racisme, les préjugés ou la précarité peuvent-ils empêcher l'accès à la justice et transformer un parcours de soin en un nouveau chemin de croix ?Existe-t-il un profil type de victime qui attire plus les agresseurs ? Dans cet épisode, on plonge avec Me Clémence Merveille, avocate au Barreau de Bruxelles au cœur de la justice belge. Pour comprendre comment se défendre, quels sont vos droits, et pourquoi le combat est si inégal selon qui vous êtes. Un dialogue crucial à l'ère du numérique, entre nouvelles lois et vieilles injustices. Voulez-vous en savoir plus?

Spécial BE! Episode 14. Retraumatisation, procès pour diffamation : les risques lorsque l'on porte plainte pour VSS — Avec Me Clémence Merveille, Avocate au barreau de Bruxelles
On se demande toujours pourquoi les victimes ne portent pas souvent plainte. Et si une partie de la réponse se trouvait dans le processus judiciaire ? Les procès Depardieu ou de Mazan en France ou le procès P. Diddy aux Etats-Unis ont mis en lumière a quel point le processus judiciaire pouvait être douloureux pour les personnes qui portent plainte pour agression. Elles n’ont pas encore eu le temps de guérir du trauma causé par leur agresseur qu’elles doivent faire face au trauma causé par les intervenants du système judiciaire. Mais, qu’en est-il en Belgique ? On connaît parfois mieux ce qui se passe dans les tribunaux étrangers que chez nous. Comment est-ce que les victimes sont-elles traitées dans notre pays ? Est-ce qu’elles risquent d’être traumatisées une deuxième fois par les intervenants du système judiciaire ? Est-ce qu’elles risquent un procès pour diffamation si elles portent plainte et que la plainte n’aboutit pas ? Voulez-vous en savoir plus?

Spécial BE! Episode 13 . Et si je ne veux pas porter plainte pour violences sexuelles? Quelles sont les alternatives ? — Avec Me Clémence Merveille, Avocate au barreau de Bruxelles
Et si la justice n'était pas une simple question de condamnation ? Que faire lorsqu'une victime de violences sexuelles ne souhaite pas un procès, n'a pas suffisamment de preuves, ou cherche une réparation qui va au-delà d'une peine de prison ? Dans ce troisième volet de notre série sur le parcours judiciaire belge, Maître Clémence Merveille nous ouvre les portes des méthodes alternatives de résolution des conflits (MARCs). Au sommaire de cet épisode novateur : Les MARCs, c'est quoi ? Médiation, justice réparatrice... Décryptage de ces processus qui remettent les parties au cœur de la solution. Au-delà de la prison : Pourquoi certaines victimes ne veulent-elles pas que leur agresseur aille en prison ? Quelles autres formes de réparation existent ? Inspiration cinéma : Comment le film "Je verrai toujours vos visages" illustre de manière bouleversante le pouvoir de la justice réparatrice. Concrètement, en Belgique : Quelles ASBL proposent ces services ? Comment y avoir accès, avec ou sans plainte déposée ? Avantages et limites : Un processus confidentiel, créatif, mais pas adapté à toutes les situations. On fait le point. Un épisode porteur d'espoir qui montre que d'autres chemins de reconstruction existent, en complément ou en dehors du système pénal classique.

Spécial BE! Episode 12. Violences sexuelles : le consentement au cœur du nouveau droit belge — Avec Me Clémence Merveille, Avocate au barreau de Bruxelles
« Qui ne dit mot consent » : cette vieille maxime est définitivement enterrée dans le droit belge. Depuis 2022, une révolution silencieuse a eu lieu. Le Code pénal a été réformé en profondeur pour placer le consentement au cœur de la définition des violences sexuelles. Dans ce deuxième volet de notre série sur le parcours judiciaire en Belgique, Maître Clémence Merveille nous éclaire sur ces changements majeurs. Au sommaire : Fin d'une époque : On passe de la protection des "bonnes mœurs" à la protection des personnes et de leur intégrité. Le consentement, nouveau pilier : Comment la loi le définit-elle désormais ? Qu'en est-il d'une personne endormie, sidérée ou sous l'emprise de substances ? Les mineurs : Comment la loi encadre-t-elle les relations entre adolescents ? Prouver le viol : La charge de la preuve a-t-elle vraiment changé ? Que dit la jurisprudence face à la difficulté de prouver l'absence de consentement ? Et sur le terrain ? : Les avocats et les magistrats sont-ils formés à cette nouvelle vision ? Qu'est-ce que le projetLVA (Lawyers Victim Assistance) ? Un épisode essentiel pour comprendre comment la loi tente de rattraper le retard de la société et quels nouveaux outils elle offre aux personnes qu’un auteur de violence à victimisé.

Spécial BE! - Episode 11. Porter plainte pour agression sexuelle en Belgique : Le guide de survie — Avec Me Clémence Merveille, Avocate au barreau de Bruxelles
Porter plainte, c'est bien. Mais être préparé·e au parcours judiciaire qui suit, c'est mieux – et c'est souvent ce qui fait la différence entre un processus retraumatisant et une démarche de reconquête de son pouvoir. 💪 Dans ce premier épisode d'une série dédiée au parcours judiciaire belge, nous recevons Maître Clémence Merveille, avocate au Barreau de Bruxelles et formée à la prise en charge des victimes de violences sexuelles. Avec clarté et pédagogie, elle nous guide pas à pas dans le dédale de la justice : · La première marche à suivre : les CPVS (Centres de Prise en charge des Violences Sexuelles), un lieu sûr et spécialisé. · Déposer plainte au commissariat : comment identifier les cellules spécialisées et quoi attendre de l'audition. · Les alternatives : que signifient se constituer partie civile ou saisir un juge d'instruction ? · La réalité des procédures : du classement sans suite au procès correctionnel, décryptage des scénarios possibles. · La question de la peine : quelles sanctions sont réellement prononcées ? On parle sursis, suspension du prononcé et peine de travail. Un épisode essentiel pour comprendre le système, déconstruire les idées reçues et outiller les survivant.es afin qu'ils/elles puissent aborder ce parcours non plus en victime, mais en actrice ou acteur de leur propre justice.

Prologue_What is rape culture?
The "Me Too" movement has been incredibly effective in highlighting the widespread prevalence and horrific realities of sexual violence across the globe. The WHO estimates that 1 out of 3 women has suffered from sexual violence. These numbers are way too high. I strongly believe that in order to solve an issue, we need to understand its root causes and then take actions to solve it. I also believe that, as a society, we have both the power to fight against this problem as well as a responsibility to do it. The aim of this podcast will thus be to look at the issue from a variety of different angles and identify opportunities for actions. In this short intro episode, we will discuss what rape culture is and why it is important for all of us to take action to fight against it and create a safe environment for everyone.
