Hundreds of people protested in Ajaccio on Sunday against sexual assault on women. By 6 p.m., following an appeal by the #IwasCorsica born movement on Twitter, protesters, mostly young women wearing white T-shirts with the words “I was” crossed out, joined the prefecture from the Palace of Justice holding placards saying “Take our grievances,” “no means no,” or “Rapist, you should be afraid”, and shouting “we are strong, we are proud, and feminists, radical and angry!”

Between cries and tears, they chanted, behind their masks, anti-sars coronavirus, “police, justice, non-lawsuit, you are accomplices”. The mayor (DVD) of Ajaccio, Laurent Marcangeli, was present at the end of the procession to “support this process, because the manifestation of the truth can do,” he said. A free train was hired to bring the women back from Bastia and Corte.

The keyboard was broken on Sunday by between 400 people, according to the authorities’ estimate, and 600 according to the organizers’ estimate. Anaïs Mattei, one of the organizers of the two events, as well as two representatives of women’s associations, was received by the prefect of Corsica after the event, at the request of Marlene Schiappa, the state secretary for equality between women and men.
