Huge French march world's largest ahead of the UN Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women
TENS of thousands of women marched through Paris on Saturday ahead of tomorrow’s United Nations Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
The rally was the largest worldwide, though demonstrations took place in many cities across the glove, with big protests in many Mexican cities against epidemic femicide rates — 10 women are murdered every day in the country.
French marchers bore purple flags and signs reading Not One More, Sick of Rape and End Femicide as they honoured the memories of 130 women killed in France by a current or former partner so far this year.
