Crowds Rally Worldwide for Int. Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Women across the world took to the streets on Saturday on the annual
International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. Crowds
poured into the streets in Peru, Mexico, France, Sweden, Spain,
Mozambique, and other countries to protest femicide, rape and sexual
harassment. In Turkey, thousands of women clashed with police in
Istanbul during the protest.

Aysegul Doker: "They do not even let this (march) happen. They cannot
even tolerate this. They do not want us, the women, to be free. But we
will not leave the streets, as long as we can."

Fatos Ocal "First, the government needs to stop their discriminating
policies, even supported by laws, against women, because woman will
always say no to this."
