International Women's Day In Toulouse

Thousands of women and men are taking to the streets of Toulouse on March 8th, 2023, for International Women's Day. This year, the motto is about sexism, salary differences, and sexual violence. One important theme of the gathering is the planned pensions reform, as women will lose money after the reform and they must work several more years without taking time off to educate children, which will no longer count as it does now. Today, the difference in pensions between women and men is about 30%. Protesters are also denouncing rapes, sexual violence, and violence towards women. Trade unions such as CGT, FSU, and Unsa are also present at the march. A young woman is seen participating in the march.
