Several thousand people took part on Sunday in Paris, in a festive atmosphere, in the "lesbian march", demanding access to medically assisted procreation (PMA) for all, noted AFP journalists.
Several personalities were involved in the demonstration, such as the director Céline Sciamma, the actress Adèle Haenel and the elected Parisian ecologist and lesbian activist Alice Coffin, who saw in the event a
"translation into a demonstration"
of a
" rise ”
of the lesbian movement in recent years.
The dense procession brought together 4,400 people according to the Paris police headquarters, 10,000 according to the organizers.
"Free PMA, for all, that is not negotiable", "Macron hypocrite, lesbians go to Belgium!"
were slogans echoed by the crowd.
The demonstration took place in the wake of the debates around the bioethics law and the rejection by the Senate in February of the extension of the assisted reproduction to single women and female couples, provoking the ire of activists who denounced a "Law at a discount" and a "totally absent lesbian word" from the debates.
