In France, hundreds gathered in Paris and other cities on September 28, 2024, to advocate for stronger protections for abortion rights, despite its recent constitutional inclusion.

The protests, organized by the collective 'Avortement en Europe, les femmes décident,' highlighted concerns that access to abortion remains challenging due to structural and procedural barriers.

Demonstrators, including feminist associations and unions, called for guaranteed access across all regions and criticized the government's conservative stance, fearing potential rollbacks.

The protestors emphasized the need for comprehensive measures, such as education on sexual health and combating misinformation.

Despite assurances from Prime Minister Michel Barnier that existing rights will be preserved, activists remain vigilant, citing ongoing obstacles and the influence of anti-abortion figures within the government.
