Elsewhere on International Women’s Day, Russian police arrested women who led an antiwar protest. Meanwhile, Ukrainian women in Kyiv spent the day in bomb shelters. In Turkey, at least 38 women were detained in Istanbul as riot police set up barricades and fired pepper gas at protesters. In Sudan, security forces fired tear gas at a women’s rights rally. This is one of the protesters.

Taqi: “In spite of all the violations that happened to me, and so it doesn’t happen to others — there are women who have been humiliated, who have been raped — so this will not happen to others, because we reject all these violations. And in spite of all these violations, these things will not prevent us from revolting. We will go on, in spite of the repression and persecution of women. They will not scare us with all this. We will continue our revolution and will not fear a thing.”
