Thousands of people marched in cities across the globe to mark International Women’s Day, and in many cases, denounce the war in Iran.

From Rio in Brazil to cities across France, Spain and other European countries, demonstrators marched to demand women's rights across a range of issues.

In France, rape survivor Gisele Pelicot led a women's rights march in Paris, one of several demonstrations in French cities.

Thousands also marched in cities across Spain to protest gender-based violence and call for an end to the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran.

The Paris march was one of some 150 demonstrations held to mark International Women's Day in France, with events taking place in other cities including Bordeaux, Lille, and Marseille.
