Tens of thousands protest in France against sexual violence

🔶 Tens of thousands protest in France against sexual violence Tens of thousands people in various cities across France held protests against sexual violence. According to statements by the organizers of this protest movement, only in Paris, the country’s capital, around 100,000 people took to the streets. The organizers, who are an alliance made up of 180 organizations and associations, are calling for the adoption of a comprehensive law to tackle sexual violence. They believe that, instead of “piecemeal actions and laws,” a legal and comprehensive framework should be established to fight this problem. The reason for holding these protests is the death of an 11-year-old girl in early June, who is said to have been raped by a person with a record of sexual crimes and then killed. This case has sparked widespread public anger in France, because despite the fact that a complaint accusing the suspect in the case of raping a child under the age of legal consent was filed in 2025, he was never questioned. There was also a separate investigative case about this individual that had previously been closed.
