In Kyiv on March 8, from Mykhailivska Square to Poshtova Square, hundreds of people marched in celebration of International Women’s Day. The Women’s March participants raised awareness of the necessity of ratifying the Istanbul Convention, which criminalizes domestic violence and violence against women as a whole. Participants also decried sexism and discrimination in the public sphere. They chanted slogans like “My body – my business” and “Rebel, love, and protect your rights!” among others.
