Toulouse. A happening against feminicides this Saturday in the city center
This October 16, the #NousToutes collective is organizing an operation in Toulouse on Saturday to expose the flaws in the state regarding feminicides.
It is a national operation which will take place this Saturday, October 16 at the initiative of the collective #WeAll. “Dying in” will thus take place in many cities of France to denounce “the failures of the State and the legal system in the management of cases of violence in the couple and feminicides”.
93 feminicides since January 1, 2021
During this year 2021, 93 women were murdered because they were women, recall the collective. In Toulouse, as in other cities, dozens of activists will fall to the call of the first names of women victims of feminicides that they represent. One way to “pay homage to them by carrying the voice of those who can no longer speak”, adds the collective.
According to the latter, gender-based and sexual violence has not declined in recent years as the figures show. “Many of these feminicides could be avoided. 65% of murdered women had contacted the justice system but the public authorities had turned their backs, refusing to take their complaints, classifying the investigations… ”, he denounces.
The demands of the #NousToutes collective
The #Nous Tous collective is therefore asking for a billion euros to be released to finance public policies to combat gender-based and sexual violence. As well as the increase in structures and measures which put in place the safety of women and children victims of violence: safety, accommodation, telephone in serious danger…. Finally, he calls for an increase in subsidies paid to associations which participate in the prevention of gender-based and sexual violence and in supporting victims.
The rally against feminicides in Toulouse will take place rue d’Alsace Lorraine at 2:30 p.m.
