In France, tens of thousands protested against sexual violence and the inadequate handling of such crimes by authorities. The demonstrations were sparked by the murder of 11-year-old Lyhanna, whose case revealed systemic failures in the justice system. Protesters criticized the low conviction rate for rapists—only 1% are caught and convicted—and called for the resignation of Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin, who they accuse of deflecting responsibility. The case highlighted issues like delayed processing of reports, lack of resources, and insufficient attention to child victims. An independent commission estimated that there are around 160,000 cases of rape, incest, and sexual abuse involving minors annually in France.
