The banner reads 'For the right to abort, here and there, our bodies, our rights'. For International Safe Abortion Day, hundreds of women and men take to the streets in Toulouse, France, on September 28, 2024, to raise awareness about safe abortion and contraception. Even if abortion is a right in numerous countries, in many of them, it is not an effective right due to difficult access to abortion or even sexual education. Protesters ask for more resources for 'planning familial', an association where girls and women can come with sexual problems or to be informed about their rights, such as the right to a safe abortion. They also march for gender equality and for the rights of LGBTQIA+ people.

ict is a major problem in Sri Lanka. A JCB dozer is digging a hole to bury the dead body of an elephant in Habarana, Sri Lanka, on May 20, 2023. The Sri Lankan wild elephant, scientifically known as Elephas maximus maximus, is reported to have over 7,000 across Sri Lanka, according to the Wildlife Department. Humans have been clearing forests and building settlements, resulting in the loss of elephants' habitats and frequent visits to elephant villages, creating an elephant-human conflict. In 2022, 433 elephant deaths and 145 human deaths will have been reported due to this problem, and from January 1 to April 25, 2023, 114 elephant deaths have been reported. The Wildlife Department has reported 34 elephant deaths from Anuradhapura district, 29 from Polonnaruwa district, and 19 from Eastern Province so far in 2023, and 36 people will have died due to elephant-human conflict in the same year. Sri Lankans have had a long relationship with elephants, taming and using them for cultural and religious activities since ancient times, as well as for war. Even today, elephants are widely used for Buddhist processions, such as the Kandy Dalada Perahera, and are beneficial for Sri Lanka's tourism industry, as many tourists come to see them. The human-elephant conflict is a major problem in Sri Lanka.
