Campaigners looking to shine a light on gender-based violence took over the Cannes red carpet and unrolled a banner with the names of all the victims of femicide since the last edition of the film festival.
Members of the 'Les Colleuses' feminist collective took advantage of the attention trained on the red carpet at Cannes during the premiere of the film Holy Spider on Sunday to unroll a large poster with the names of 129 women, victims of femicide, who were killed since the last festival in July 2021.
