Demonstrations from Buenos Aires to Lagos demand justice for women victims and urge reforms to protect women.
The protesters have taken to the streets across Asia, Africa, Europe and America to mark International Women’s Day, seeking many gender-based violence and inequality to end.
In cities such as Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Saturday, those warnings were particularly serious, as the protesters raised against the penance plans laid forward by President Xavier Mila that they would say they would withdraw services for women.
Miley’s government has closed the ministry of women, gender and diversity of the country and plans to attack “Femoids” – words for killing women in terms of gender violence – from the country’s penal code. His Justice Minister called the term “deformation of the concept of equality”, claiming that it indicates a high value for women’s lives.
Reporting from Buenos Aires, Teresa Bo of Al Jazeera said that the protesters say the step is particularly harmful that a woman is killed every 30 hours in the country. A United Nations report released last year found that about 60 percent of women and girls killed in 2023 were murdered by their intimate companions or a close relative.
“The women here say that they have been fighting for a very long time, that they will not come back, that they will not remain silent,” Bow said. “They say that their fight is very important, and so they say they will continue with their struggle on the streets.”
Hundreds of women in Ecuador marched in the capital Quito, indicating indications opposing violence and “patriarchal system”.
“Justice for our daughters!” The protesters shouted in recent years in support of women killed.
In Bolivia, thousands of women started march late on Friday night, with some graffiti frescoes on the walls of the courts, demanding that their rights be respected and condemnation of impurities in famidies should be sentenced in less than half of them.
In many European countries, women also protested against violence, for better access to gender-specific healthcare, equal pay and other issues, which still have inequalities with men.
In Poland, activists opened a center from Parliament House in Warsaw, where women can do medical abortion, also known as non-surgical abortion, either alone or with other women.
Opening the Center on International Women’s Day from the Legislature traditionally was a symbolic challenge for officials in the Roman Catholic nation, one of the most restrictive abortion laws in Europe.
The protesters also took the streets in Madrid, Spain.
Some protesters gave hand -prepared pictures depicting a French woman Gissle Pelicot, which during a decade was now druged by the ex -husband in France to rape by dozens of men when she was unconscious.
Pelicot has become a symbol for women across Europe in the fight against sexual violence.
In the Nigerian capital of Lagos, thousands of women gathered at the Mobolji Johnson Stadium, dancing and singing and celebrating their femininity.
Many people were wearing clothes in purple color – the traditional color of women’s liberation movement.
In Russia, there were more official overtones at the Women’s Day celebrations, in which Honor Guard soldiers introduced yellow tulips to girls and women during a celebration in St. Petersburg.
In Ukraine, a ceremony was held in the city of Kharkiv, who was held to convince women soldiers who died while fighting with Russia’s invasion.
