Rania Kissi, former foster child, publishes book on child welfare failures
Abandoned at age 10, a lawyer and Paris councilor publishes "Children in Care, Broken Futures," in which she reflects on her experience within the child welfare system (ASE), according to an interview published by Le Monde.
The newspaper Le Monde has published an interview with Rania Kissi, a lawyer in her late twenties and Paris councilor, as part of its monthly "Rising Stars" section, which highlights young figures challenging conventions in their fields.
According to Le Monde, Rania Kissi was abandoned at age 10 and grew up within France's child welfare system (ASE). She is now publishing a book titled "Children in Care, Broken Futures," which examines the gaps and failures of this child protection system in France.
In statements reported by Le Monde, Rania Kissi notes that abandonment, often discussed in abstract terms, was a direct lived experience for her. She states: "Abandonment is something people often talk about, imagine; I have lived through it."
Le Monde's article does not go into further detail about the specific contents of the book, the exact circumstances of her experience within the ASE, or the proposals she puts forward as a Paris councilor regarding child protection policy.
