Tens of thousands across France packed rallies for International Women's Day on Saturday, taking aim at persistent gender pay gaps, violence against women and male-dominated politics, reports RFI.
The collective organising the rallies, Greve feministe (Feminist Strike), said 250,000 people had taken to the streets across France at some 150 demonstrations, with 120,000 people in Paris alone.
Police put turnout in the capital at 47,000 people.
Some demonstrators took aim at US President Donald Trump including women from the Femen activist group. They marched topless with either the US or the Russian national flag, marked with a swastika, painted on their chests.
