In Paris, as the Olympics approach, the city establishes "safe zones" to counter alarming rates of sexual and gender-based violence. With €85,000 in funding, these areas seek to provide refuge for victims amid the chaos of celebration.

Authorities respond to troubling reports of harassment and domestic violence, focusing primarily on prevention. Yet, the festive atmosphere remains tainted by these shadows.

Meanwhile, in St. Louis, Life Time Fitness faces fierce criticism for its policy allowing transgender women in female locker rooms. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey condemns the policy, claiming it endangers the safety of women and girls and threatens the gym with legal consequences.

He insists that local laws support his position, framing the issue as a pressing public safety matter and warning of repercussions if the gym doesn’t alter its practices.
