The march against violence against women gathered in Paris 18,000 people according to the police, and 50,000 according to the organizers, Saturday, November 20. The “We all” march comes two years after the Grenelle against domestic violence.
Purple is now the color for denouncing violence against women. 18,000 demonstrators gathered in the afternoon of Saturday, November 20, in Paris, mainly women. For them, the public authorities are not doing enough. “The laws are not applied, the means are not put in place. At present, there are only 360 million euros which are dedicated to the fight against violence“, denounces Marylie Breuil, of the collective” We all “.
Among the procession, many victims were present. One of the demonstrators will not soon forget what happened to her recently on a bus. “I had a man to my left and I was stuck against the window. He took up a lot of space with his legs (…) he approached me, until he slipped his hand between his thigh and mine “, she testifies. Harassment, another form of violence, is a daily occurrence for many women, with words that hurt and humiliate.
