Thousands protest in ‘feminist tidal wave’ against sexist violence 12 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseTens of thousands of people rallied across Europe on Saturday against sexist violence, with more than 30,000 turning out in Paris. Demonstrations across France drew around 50,000 people in all, according to organiser Caroline de Haas, to answer a citizen collective’s call for a “feminist tidal wave” of outrage against gender violence brought into sharp focus by the #MeToo movement. Elsewhere, a thousand people braved driving rain in Rome while similar protests drew several hundred demonstrators in Geneva and Athens on the eve of the UN’s International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on Sunday. In Spain’s capital Madrid, several hundred people took to the streets to march to loud drumming as some shouted “We are all here, the murderers are missing”.
