00:02Crowds gathered in the streets across Europe on Sunday to mark International Women's Day with
00:07demands for ending inequality and gender-based violence. Women protested against violence for
00:13better access to gender-specific health care, equal pay and other issues in which they don't
00:18get the same treatment as men. This year, many are also raising awareness for women's rights
00:23issues in the context of a world increasingly afflicted by conflict. Protesters expressed
00:29solidarity with women affected by war in Ukraine, Iran, Gaza and elsewhere. According to the United
00:35Nations, women in conflict-affected areas are disproportionately affected by gender-based
00:40violence. In Madrid, no to war and anti-fascist feminists against imperialist war were among
00:47the slogans written on signs at the protests. Madrid also saw separate demonstrations for
00:53transgender rights and for the legalization and regulation of prostitution.
