Toulouse: Demonstration Against Sexist And Sexual Violences
Women from the collective NousToustes and other organizations such as SUD and Amnesty International organize a nationwide march in France against feminicides, sexual and sexist violence, and patriarchy. Several thousand people, both women and men, take to the streets for this day. They demand more resources from the French government to protect women who are beaten, injured, or killed by their partners. They state that 65% of murdered women had approached the police to file a complaint, but the police classified the complaints. They also request better training for the police to pay attention to these complaints. Feminist organizations demand at least EUR2.6 billion per year as necessary to tackle violence against women. In 2023, more than 270,000 women are victims of violence by their partners in Toulouse, France, on November 22, 2025. (Photo by Alain Pitton/NurPhoto)
