Protesters in Moscow denounce violence against women Protesters gather in Moscow to denounce violence against women on International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. The protesters are marching in support of a proposed law on domestic violence which they fear could be watered down as ultra-conservative groups campaign against it. The law would for the first time define domestic violence and treat it as a separate crime, introducing restraining orders against abusers among other measures. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
