Thousands of people attended the ‘march of dignity’ rally that was held in Paris on Saturday to protest against racism, police heavy-handedness and injustice, reports RFI.
Called the ‘March of Dignity’, the demonstration began at Barbès Rochechouart and culminated at PLace de la Bastille.
One of the features of the march was the large participation of women who were at the front.
The march set off with a group of women at their head under the banner "march for dignity against racism."
Participants, who had come from around the country, called for ‘justice, reparation and unity’.
32-year-old Lisa said she was participating in the march as she wanted peace all over the world.
The rally was called by women's collective Mafed which is backed by US civil rights campaigner Angela Davis.
Different groups participated in the march, each one airing their grievances and demands.
