A strong mobilization is expected Saturday in the streets of Paris and many other cities of France to say "no" to gender-based and sexual violence, and "to demand public policies to match" against this scourge, according to the organizers of this day of demonstrations.

The processions will be an opportunity to "shake the country", "to shout our anger", and "to denounce the gap" between the "speeches of the public authorities and reality", affirms Marylie Breuil, of the feminist collective #NousToutes.

In Paris, where the demonstration had attracted two 100,000 people ago according to the demonstrators (35,000 according to the police), the procession which will link Republic to Nation, it could again mobilize tens of thousands of demonstrators, according to the organizers.

The means deployed against violence against women and feminicides are "derisory", despite the progress recorded since the "Grenelle" two years ago, deplores Marylie Breuil.

Some 220,000 women are victims of violence each year, 94,000 are raped and 101 have been killed by their spouse or ex-spouse since the beginning of the year, notes #NousToutes.

Feminist organizations believe that the state should devote one billion euros per year to this fight, instead of 360 million today.

They also ask for "preventive" measures: "We must teach the youngest what consent is, and that all college or high school students pass a certificate of education in non-violence, on the same model as security. road ”, details Marylie Breuil.

Feminist associations are also asking for an additional effort to create more accommodation places for women fleeing their violent partners. In such a situation, around 40% of victims are not offered any accommodation solution, and only 12% get a suitable place, with legal and psychological support, according to a report published Thursday by the Women's Foundation.

The demonstrations, organized ahead of the international day against violence against women on November 25, will be an opportunity to "ask presidential candidates to put this question at the heart of their priorities," she said. further explained.

For the first time, a “Christian procession”, carried by “Christian feminist and LGBTQIA organizations”, announced that it would join the Parisian demonstration “around the victims of gender-based and sexual violence in our Churches”.

"The Christian institutions are numerous to lead violent fights to impose discriminating stereotypes" and a "hierarchy of sexualities", points out this collective.
