02-12-2019 15:00

In France, there is a very bad situation with violence in homes. There are many abused women. This year, more than 100 French women die because their partners kill them. France is one of the countries in Europe with the worst situation.

People start to protest because they want to change the situation. The French officials must do something. They come up with a new plan on how to stop the violence. They want serious rules for people who abuse their partners. They want better control of these people. Officials also want to create about 1,000 new places in homes. These are for women who have problems with their partners.

The French president likes the plan. He wants to support it.

Difficult words: violence (an action that somebody does to hurt or kill somebody else), abused (an object of a very bad behavior), support (to help).
