Activists demand gender-equality in International Women's Day protests
Briefly

On International Women's Day, hundreds of thousands of women worldwide rallied to advocate for equality and an end to gender-based violence. In Brussels, activists expressed concern over a potential regression in women's rights, spurred by the rise of far-right politics in Europe. Protesters emphasized the importance of solidarity and empowerment, highlighting issues like abortion rights and the broader fight against discrimination. The day served not only as a protest but also as a meaningful gathering for women to connect over shared beliefs and aspirations for a more equitable future.
With the rise of the far right everywhere in Europe there could really be a backlash on the rights (of women and minorities).
I could have never thought that abortion could be put into question in the United States and here it is, so if it is possible in the United States it could unfortunately also be possible in Europe.
For me it is important to be here, it brings me a lot of energy because we are surrounded by likeminded people.
