• Reports indicate that children’s rights activists will hold a protest march from Place Vauban in Paris at 13:00 (local time) to Place du Pantheon on September 25. The protest march will span 4.5 kilometers and will proceed via Duroc, Port Royal, and Place Edmond Rostand.
• The protest march is held to demand improvement of France’s child protection system, focusing on issues such as eliminating waiting lists for protective measures, better support for families, improving social worker conditions, and providing ongoing support for young adults leaving child welfare. 
• The protest march is organized by the Les 400 000 collective, a group of over 50 organizations advocating for children’s rights.  

1. Based on social media estimates, the protest is likely to attract a turnout ranging in the mid to high hundreds.  
2. Given the nature of the protest issue, the march is anticipated to transpire largely peacefully and without instances of unrest. Regardless, a bolstered security presence is likely to be deployed along the route of the march in central Paris to monitor proceedings.  
3. Localized disruptions to pedestrian and vehicular traffic should be anticipated in the vicinity of the protest route from the afternoon hours onwards.

Those operating or residing in Paris on September 25 are advised to allot for travel-related disruptions in the vicinity of the slated protest march from the afternoon hours onwards.
