A young woman holds a cardboard sign reading 'I'm not a misandrist, I have a man as a friend'. Thousands of women and men take to the streets of Toulouse, France, on March 8, 2025, for International Women's Day. This year, the motto is about sexism, the far-right, Trump, and sexual violence. One theme of the protest is about US President D. Trump, who bars words like 'woman, women, gender, transgender, sexism, machism, etc.' from governmental websites. Trump also terminates the D.E.I. (diversity, equity, and inclusion) programs and demands that corporations cut all DEI corporate initiatives. Protesters want to raise awareness about sexism, machism, and the difference in rights between men and women in society. Protesters also denounce rape, sexual violence, and violence towards women. Trade unions such as CGT, FSU, and Unsa are also present at the march.

A young woman holds a cardboard sign that reads, 'I'm not a misandrist, I have a male friend'. Women from the collective NousToutes and other organizations such as SUD or Amnesty International organize a nationwide march in France against feminicides, sexual violence, and patriarchy. Several thousand people, both women and men, take to the streets on 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 killed women had approached the police to file a complaint, but the police classified the complaints. They also ask for better police training 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 have been victims of violence by their partners. This event takes place in Toulouse, France, on November 23, 2024.
