N2  - Suicide is one of the most common causes of death among individuals younger than eighteen years old. While psychological and social sciences continue to study the causes of the increasing prevalence of suicide in children and teens, the law largely continues to treat suicide as an isolated event. This Note tracks the historical treatment of suicide both under tort and criminal law, supporting the shift away from the traditional view of suicide towards one that more closely aligns with the growing understanding of the many factors that can contribute to a minor's suicide. Ultimately, this Note argues that many minor suicides should be treated as foreseeable, allowing actions in tort.     ===    Impliquée dans l'accompagnement à la réduction des risques en santé des travailleuses du sexe, l'association Médecins du monde France met en évidence la fragilisation de cette population en regard des mesures législatives actuelles vis-à-vis du travail sexuel. Ces contraintes multiples se répercutent négativement en termes d'accès aux droits à la santé mais aussi à leur travail.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
