Reunion: Women's rights activists to stage demonstration at Place Paul Verges in Saint-Denis on Nov. 23
Women's rights activists to stage protest at Place Paul Verges in Saint-Denis, Reunion, from 15:00 Nov. 23; increased security likely.
Activists affiliated with the NousToutes974 group plan to stage a demonstration at Place Paul Verges in Saint-Denis from 15:00 Nov. 23. The purpose of the protest is to denounce violence against women and demand "the appointment of a feminist and anti-racist government." The rally is scheduled to come ahead of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, annually observed on Nov. 25. The number of people who would participate in the demonstration was not immediately clear.
Authorities will likely deploy an increased security presence to the gathering site to monitor the demonstration. Localized transport disruptions may affect the vicinity of Place Paul Verges during the protest. While unlikely, clashes between demonstrators and security forces cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest as a precaution. Consider taking alternative routes to circumvent the demonstration site and any disruptions. Adhere to all instructions issued by local authorities.
