Protesters will march through Paris to pressure the French government to take stronger steps to prevent deadly domestic violence, a problem that President Emmanuel Macron has called “France’s shame.”
The Associated PressTens of thousands of protesters marched through Paris on Saturday to demand a national wake-up call and more government investment to prevent deadly domestic violence against women, a problem that President Emmanuel Macron calls “France’s shame.”
The protest came on the U.N.’s International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and is aimed at pressuring the French government before it unveils new measures Monday to tackle the problem. Some of Saturday’s marchers want 1 billion euros in government investment, though the funding is expected to fall far short of that.
That’s below the global average of 30%, according to UN Women. But it’s above the EU average and the sixth highest among EU countries.
