TL;DR

Demonstrators around the world took to the streets on International Women's Day to advocate for women's rights, with rallies addressing issues such as pay equality, domestic violence, and maternity rights. From London to Bangkok to Seoul, protesters called for better working conditions, longer maternity leave, and greater access to education in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. Some also demanded a cease-fire in Gaza and the return of Israeli hostages, while others protested against femicide and advocated for better living and working conditions for women.
