Protesting violence against women in Paris

A feminist collective outside Les Halles in Paris protests against violence against women. They sound a klaxon every 2.5 minutes to symbolise how often an act of violence is perpetrated against women, and deliver a speech through a megaphone to passers by. 

In the first half of the recording we also hear the rubbish collection truck and workmen going about their business around the protesters.
