France faces protests over sexual violence
Tens of thousands of French people demonstrated in around 110 cities, including Paris, protesting against the widespread sexual violence, especially following the rape and murder of an 11-year-old girl. The protesters are calling for the implementation of a comprehensive law to combat sexual violence that addresses all aspects from prevention to support for victims, amid repeated complaints about lack of funding and weak investigations that allow offenders to go unpunished. Calls for judicial reform and improved trust in French institutions have also increased following cases of negligence and shortcomings in handling child abuse cases.
