Parliamentary Inquiry Highlights Future of the Fund for Sexual Abuse in the Context of the Supplementary Support System
Berlin, Germany – July 9, 2025 – A new parliamentary inquiry, designated Drucksache 21/812, has been published today by the German Bundestag, shedding light on crucial questions concerning the future of the Fund for Sexual Abuse (Fonds Sexueller Missbrauch – FSM) and its integration within the broader Supplementary Support System (Ergänzendes Hilfesystem – EHS). The document, released at 10:00 AM, signifies a focused parliamentary effort to clarify the operational framework and long-term trajectory of these vital support mechanisms.
The “Kleine Anfrage” (Minor Inquiry), a standard parliamentary tool allowing members to request information from the government, specifically addresses the FSM and its evolving role in relation to the EHS. This inquiry is expected to prompt detailed responses from the relevant federal ministries, providing much-needed clarity for survivors, support organizations, and the public alike.
While the full text of the inquiry’s specific questions is contained within the published PDF, the overarching theme clearly revolves around the future operationalisation and potential structural adjustments of the FSM. The context of the EHS is particularly significant, suggesting a parliamentary interest in how the FSM is harmonized with, or potentially integrated into, the wider framework designed to provide comprehensive assistance to victims of sexual abuse.
The timing of this inquiry, with its publication on July 9, 2025, indicates a proactive approach by parliamentarians to ensure that the support structures for survivors of sexual abuse are robust, well-defined, and adequately resourced. Understanding the intricate relationship between the FSM and the EHS is paramount to guaranteeing effective and accessible aid for those who have experienced such profound trauma.
This parliamentary action underscores the ongoing commitment of the German government to addressing the legacy of sexual abuse and to providing ongoing support for survivors. The detailed responses anticipated from the federal government in relation to Drucksache 21/812 will be keenly awaited by all stakeholders involved in this critical area of social support. Further developments are expected as the inquiry progresses through the parliamentary process.
