<p>To mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women we bring you a report on how France is trying to stamp out what remains an all-too-common form of violence. Each year, over 200,000 women in France are physically or sexually abused by their current or former partner, but few file a complaint. Our reporters have been to meet some of the men who are owning up to their acts - and the people working to stop them repeating them.</p><br />Programme prepared by Elise Duffau and Patrick Lovett<br /><br />Visit our website:<br />http://www.france24.com<br /><br />Like us on Facebook:<br />https://www.facebook.com/FRANCE24.English<br /><br />Follow us on Twitter:<br />https://twitter.com/France24_en
