People write the names of women on placards during a demonstration called by the "Nous Toutes" feminist organisation to denounce the 100th feminicide of the year, on September 1, 2019 in Paris.

People held signs with the names of women killed on the basis of their gender during a demonstration to remember victims of femicides.

The demonstration was organised by the feminist organisation "Nous Toutes" in Paris on Sunday; the group was denouncing the 100th femicide of the year.

The organisation called for the French government to act; they're demanding the government give more money to tackle the issue.

In 2018, 121 women were killed by their partner or ex-partner, according to the Ministry of Interior.

The demonstration came ahead of a government meeting on domestic violence on September 3.
