PARIS – Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in this capital and other French cities on Saturday to protest against domestic violence, after over 130 women were believed to have been killed by their partner or ex-partner in France this year.
Around 35,000 people participated in the march in Paris, police said.
The #NousToutes association, which organized the protests, estimated the turnout much higher around 100,000 in Paris and 150,000 across France.
The demonstrations took place two days before the government is due to publish the results of an investigation into domestic violence.
Other marches took place in French cities such as Lyon, Strasbourg, Bordeaux, and Lille.(Reuters)
