Thousands of people cheer as they gather for the annual anti-abortion "March for Life" protest in Washington, DC. This year’s march comes less than two months after the conservative-leaning US Supreme Court refused to block a Texas law that bans most abortions after six weeks, but left the door open for abortion providers to challenge the law in lower courts.

Poles take to the streets of Warsaw on International Women's Day to demand free access to contraceptives. Although pro-Western parties managed to oust the conservative Law and Justice (PiS) government in October 2023 elections, women are voicing anger and frustration over delays in changing the laws on women's reproductive rights. The PiS's eight-year rule saw access to abortion, in-vitro fertilisation and emergency contraception tightened. IMAGES
At least 2,000 people attend an anti-government protest at Habima square in Tel Aviv, as the Israel-Hamas war nears its 100 days mark. The war, in which Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas, began when the militants launched an unprecedented attack on October 7 that resulted in about 1,140 deaths in Israel, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official figures. Israel's relentless bombardment of Gaza since then has killed at least 23,843 people, mostly women and children, according to the latest toll reported by the health ministry of the Hamas-run Gaza Strip.
