00:00Hundreds of thousands of women rallied in cities across the globe to commemorate International
00:06Women's Day.
00:08In the European capital, Brussels, thousands marched to warn against what organizers of
00:12the rally called a worrying regression in women's rights.
00:17Protesters argued that the rise of the right wing in Europe threatens to impede on and
00:20limit women's freedoms in areas like abortion.
00:23In Rome, protesters demanded an end to gender-based violence.
00:28Protesters danced, held banners and placards, as they marched through the Italian capital's
00:32city center.
00:33They also waved bunches of keys in their hands to highlight the fact that much of the violence
00:37against women takes place within the home.
00:40Protesters also took to the streets of the Greek capital, Athens, where activists demanded
00:44an end to discrimination and pay inequality.
00:48They also carried a large Palestinian flag and called for the protection of Palestinian
00:52women's rights, who've been enduring the hardships of war in the ongoing conflict between
00:56Israel and Hamas.
