Several thousand protesters marched through Paris on Saturday to demand a national wake-up call and more government investment to prevent deadly domestic violence against women.
Women hold placards with the names of the women killed by their husband since the beginning of the year, as they march against domestic violence, in Paris, on Nov, 23, 2019.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. A 2014 EU survey of 42,000 women across all 28 member states found that 26 percent of French respondents said they been abused by a partner since age 15, either physically or sexually.
Half that number reported experiencing such abuse in Spain, which implemented a series of legal and educational measures in 2004 that slashed its domestic violence rates.
