Thanks for this, especially the link to the translated French report. I plan to read it gradually over the coming weeks. Also what you say “How can we solve the problem if just the word ‘incest’ makes people squirm?” I believe a very big part of the endeavor is writing and speaking enough about incest and related issues to bring people to feel anger and a desire for change instead of squirming, cringing, and dissociating from the issue.
I really love your approach here about shifting the emotional response from cringing to raging and activism. I’m glad to hear you want to read the report. I have a summarized version of it too, with the main points outlined. Let me know if you’re interested in that, and I’ll email it to you.
As a French person, I strongly agree, and I didn't know the CIIVISE report had been translated into English. I'm glad the reckoning we're having with the widespread and structural nature of incest is helping to raise awareness of it in other countries too.

Yes! Me too.
