"There is a security measure against women, there is no security measure for women. The state, the government, perceives it as a threat when they see 3 women side by side. The state, which does not put up barricades against murderers, rapists, harassers or fascist gangs, closes the streets when it sees three women on a day like March 8 (International Women’s Day), or on days like November 25 (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women), but we know that even if they close the metro, the ferry, the roads, we will continue to fill the squares like we did today."

STORYLINE:
Women took to the streets of Istanbul to mark International Women’s Day with demands for ending inequality and gender-based violence.
On the European side of Istanbul, Turkey’s biggest city, a protest near Taksim square saw over 5,000 women chant slogans, dance, and show banners.
The colorful protest was overseen by a large police presence, including officers in riot gear and water cannon trucks.
The government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared 2025 the Year of the Family.
Protesters pushed back against the idea of women’s role being confined to marriage and motherhood, carrying banners reading “Get your laws off my body," and "Down with the ‘sacred family".
