In Barcelona, the International Women’s Day parade this March 8 began at Plaça de la Universitat and finshed up in Arc de Triomf where a manifesto was read regretting the lack of “necessary changes at the social and political level, and demanding “all freedoms and all rights for all.”

The rally in the capital saw 50,000 march under the banner “together and diverse for a decent life.” Protesters called for “self-organization and feminist revolts against precariousness and borders.”

Across Catalonia rallies took place at Plaça Imperial Tàrraco in Tarragona, Plaça Ricard Vinyes in Lleida and Plaça 1 d’Octubre in Girona.
