Last week in this post (in French) we mentioned Orange Day, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and the first day of the #16Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence.
Saturday we rallied in Paris and we met with members of the FIDH, Femen and other activists. It was a cold afternoon but it was crowded and many people (women, men, children) joined the march to show their support:

Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. And still, women don’t count… Except when it comes to statistics on violence. Take a look at the violence they face and everything we still need to change. Help us push for change https://t.co/hUYM3o6RyZ pic.twitter.com/pb6yWXCv89

Orange Day was celebrated by the Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, with projectors that illuminated Paris City Hall in orange:
S’en prendre aux femmes, c’est s’en prendre à l’Humanité entière. Ce soir, l’Hôtel de Ville s’illumine en orange pour rappeler notre engagement quotidien dans la lutte contre les violences faites aux femmes. #OrangeDayFR #OrangeTheWorld cc @ONUFemmes @Helenebidard @AFD_France pic.twitter.com/9s8WduLJTg
