Istanbul women defy ban on protests on International Women's Day
Thousands of Turkish women have defied a ban on protests on International Women's Day and rallied in the city of Istanbul for what they called a "feminist night march".
Police prevented them from reaching Taksim Square in the city centre but allowed them to carry on with their march for a while, although later they used tear gas to disperse them.The main opposition Republican People's Party marked the occasion by releasing a report that said that more than 600 women had been killed in Turkey by men since 2021, when Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan withdrew the country from the Istanbul Convention.
