Marseille has launched anti-sexism beach patrols that allow women to flag up if they are being harassed on a free phone app.
Women on beaches around the city can use Safer Plage, which presents them with three options: “I’m being bothered”, “I’m being harassed” or “I’m in danger”.
A pair of beach mediators is then dispatched to the trouble spot – one to reassure the woman, the other to tackle the harasser.
