PolandMass protests erupted across France following the death of 11-year-old Lyhanna, whose suspected killer had previously been twice accused of child sexual abuse but faced no convictions. Demonstrations took place in 110 cities nationwide, including Paris, Nantes, Bordeaux, Toulouse, and Dijon, with participants demanding comprehensive legislation to combat gender-based violence and sexual abuse against women and children. The protests were sparked by the high-profile case of Lyhanna, who went missing on May 29 and was later found dead. Her suspect, the father of her classmate, had prior accusations of child sexual assault, but investigations into those cases had stalled or been closed. Justice Minister Gerald Darmanin apologized for the 'huge failure' of the justice system in Lyhanna's case and ordered prosecutors to review approximately 70,000 pending cases involving child sexual exploitation by July 14. Feminist organizations and child protection groups are calling for systemic reform rather than piecemeal measures.
