On March 7, 2021, the French radical feminist group L'Amazone, together with the Collective for the Abolition of Pornography and Prostitution (CAPP), joined International Women's Day protests to raise awareness about violence against women in the pornography and prostitution industries.<ref name=lamazone-protest/> Some members of the group climbed onto the lower platform of the [[wikipedia:Place de la République|Monument à la République]] and held up banners with messages such as: | |||
<blockquote> | |||
We want more means for women to get out of prostitution | |||
Porn producers = pimps | |||
If your feminism profits pimps then it's not feminism | |||
If you promote prostitution as work then you're in the wrong side of history | |||
Porn & prostitution is a war against women | |||
</blockquote> | |||
The women were then attacked by a pro-prostitution group joined in by "queer activists" shouting murder threats, trying to spray paint at the women's eyes, throwing eggs, tearing up banners, and threatening to throw beer bottles. The woman reporting on the events retells part of the incident it as follows: | |||
<blockquote> | |||
They started spray painting at the bottom of the statue "Save a trans person, kill a terf" | |||
We were all shocked at the degree of violence we were going through. Our sisters at the top of statue (who are in majority prostitution survivors) were traumatized and some of them cried. | |||
We still managed to keep them from climbing the statue but after over 4h we started to worry about how we would manage to leave the protest and get home. They lined up in front of us and made nazi gestures at us. Some of them started emptying beer bottles and mimicking throwing them at us. | |||
The police refused to escort us out and simply told us that if we were attacked they would intervene. Women from other feminist organization as well as a female elected representative came to our rescue and formed a circle around us to protect us and escort us to the nearest subway station. | |||
I have never seen this much violence at a feminist protest directed at women. | |||
