PARIS — Thousands of women took to the streets in cities around France on Sunday to protest against Marine Le Pen 's far-right National Rally, as polls indicated the party could win the upcoming parliamentary elections.About 200 women's rights groups and unions organized the marches in dozens of cities, including Paris, saying women's rights come under attack when countries are governed by far-right parties. In Paris, more than 10,000 women demonstrated peacefully, organizers said.
"During the debates around making abortion a constitutional right, we could well observe how the far-right deputies were very uncomfortable with the subject, they were calling for filling the cribs with French babies," Shirley Wirden, officer in charge of women's rights at the French Communist Party, said as she took part in Sunday's protest in Paris.
