Antonio Tajani, the president of the European parliament, puts red lipstick under his eye to show his support for an Italian campaign to coincide with International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on Sunday. At the start of the 16-day campaign, he said: 'It is not normal that it is normal. I support the campaign launched in my country to fight violence against women.' He has been joined in the campaign by  famous footballers, including Cristiano Ronaldo. United Nations data suggests a third of women worldwide have suffered sexual or physical violence, and one in 10 girls have been raped or sexually assaulted.
