AI Summary:
Demonstrators have taken to the streets across Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas to mark International Women’s Day. Protesters railed against austerity plans put forth by President Javier Milei that they say will roll back services for women. Milei’s government shut down the country’s Ministry of Women, Genders and Diversity and plans to strike “femicide” – the term for the murder of women in the context of gender violence. In Bolivia, thousands of women began marching late Friday with some scrawling graffiti on the walls of courts. In many European countries, women also protested against violence, for better access to gender-specific healthcare, equal pay and other issues in which there are still disparities with men.
