In pictures: International Women's Day rallies around the world

Rallies under the theme “Give to Gain” focused on fundraising and demands for equal pay, reproductive rights, and justice amid a rise in gender-based violence worldwide, UN reported.

  • On Sunday, March 8, 2026, global rallies marked the 115th International Women's Day under the Give to Gain theme, with events in Madrid and Caracas focusing on fundraising and celebration.
  • The day traces back to early labour and socialist organising, adopted internationally after 1910, and organisers say it combines celebration with political demands for equal pay, reproductive rights and justice for survivors.
  • Rallies ranged from roughly 20,000 attendees in Berlin to vendors selling pink-wrapped flowers and local workers celebrating in Phnom Penh.
  • Marches in Brazil on Sunday protested the alleged gang rape of a 17-year-old in Copacabana, with at least 15 planned protests calling to end femicide amid United Nations figures showing a woman is killed every 10 minutes.
  • It is an official holiday in more than 20 countries, and social media amplified protests in countries with repressive governments, while the Europe is influenced by the US .
