Feminist Organizations Rally in Central Athens for International Women’s Day (Photos)

ATHENS – Feminist organizations rallied at Syntagma Square on Wednesday evening in observance of International Women’s Day.

Chanting feminist slogans against the exploitation of women and human trafficking, they marched from Syntagma to Omonia Square, coinciding with evening protest rallies about last week’s fatal train crash at Tempi, central Greece.

Protesters also went to the headquarters of the Hellenic Railways Organizations (OSE) at Metaxourgion, where they threw rocks at riot police and the latter responded with teargas and flash bangs.
