International Women’s Day 2019, in photos

Our selection of photos from protests across Europe.

Women across the world were protesting on March 8 on International Women’s Day, demanding life without fear, violence, exploitation and oppression, marching together against domestic violence, transphobia, inequality and many other issues that women are facing across the globe. These pictures are showing us once again that women cannot be silenced, that their place is in the resistance and that the struggle continues, every day – not only on March 8.
