Tens of thousands of people rallied across the world to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women
Activists march through the streets in the framework of the International Day for the Eradication of Violence against Women in Guadalajara, Mexico, on November 25, 2019.
Monday's rallies – animated by growing anger over the failure of justice systems to punish offenders – follow a weekend of protests against what is being termed femicide. President Cyril Ramaphosa used Monday's events to launch a campaign to improve victims' access to justice and urge men to drop their "sexist and patriarchal attitudes".
He said the measures, to be put to parliament in January, would be backed by 360 million euros of additional funding. An AFP examination this month of every case of femicide in France showed how the justice system had failed to act in the face of warning signs of the potential for violence.
