Thousands of protesters marched through Paris on Saturday to demand a national wake-up call and more government investment to prevent deadly domestic violence against women, a problem that President Emmanuel Macron calls "France's shame." At Saturday's march, French film and TV stars joined abuse victims and activists calling for an end to "femicide." Many held banners reading "Sick of Rape."

A wave of purple flags and signs snaked from the Place de la Republique through eastern Paris amid an unprecedented public campaign to decry violence against women – and honor the 130 women that activists say have been killed in France this year by a current or former partner. That's about one every two or three days.

While France has a progressive reputation and pushes for women's rights around the world, it has among the highest rates in Europe of domestic violence, in part because of poor police response to reports of abuse. Many of the women killed this year had previously sought help from police. In France, lawyers and victims' advocates say they're encouraged by the new national conversation, which they say marks a departure from decades of denial.

上周六，数千名抗议者在巴黎街头游行，要求政府向全国民众发出警示(敲警钟)，并加大政府投资，以防止针对女性的致命性家庭暴力。法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙称这个(家庭暴力)问题是“法国的耻辱”。在周六的游行中，法国众多影视明星纷纷加入到受害者和游行的积极分子的行列中，呼吁停止“杀害女性”的行为。其中许多人举着写有“深恶痛绝的掠夺”字样的横幅。

这是一场前所未有的公开运动，人们手举紫色旗帜和横幅，游行从共和国广场延伸到巴黎东部，旨在谴责针对女性的暴力行为，并向游行积极分子们说的那130名今年在法国被现任或前任伴侣杀害的女性致敬。这意味着(这种家暴)大约每两三天就有一起。

尽管法国享有进步主义的声誉，并在世界各地奋力为女性争取权益，但它的家暴发生率在欧洲是最高的，部分原因是警方对关于虐待的报案处理不积极。今年被杀害的女性中有许多人曾向警方寻求过帮助。在法国，律师及受害者的支持者们表示，新举办的反家暴措施协商会(全国对话)让他们倍受鼓舞，他们说，这标志着几十年来不受(国家)支持的日子结束了。
