Hélène Perlant

victim France

Hélène Perlant, currently 53 years old, is known for her courageous revelation regarding her traumatic experiences as a teenager at a summer camp organized by the religious congregation associated with the Notre-Dame de Bétharram educational institution. In a recent interview, she disclosed that she was a victim of severe physical violence by a camp leader, an experience she kept secret for over thirty years, even from her father, François Bayrou, a prominent French politician. Her testimony sheds light on the oppressive environment within the institution, which she likened to a cult or totalitarian regime, pressuring students and staff into silence regarding abuse. Her story is also featured in the upcoming book 'Le Silence de Bétharram,' highlighting the broader issue of abuse within this educational system.
