Marches to raise awareness of gender inequality took place in countries around the world to mark International Women’s Day.
For more than a century people have marked 8 March as a special day for women everywhere.
This year is the 109th International Women’s Day and the theme is equal opportunities for all.
The demonstrations have been well-attended despite global concerns over the coronavirus.
