THOUSANDS of women took to the streets of central London on Saturday for the 19th annual Million Women Rise march against violence against women and girls.

The march, organised by the Black and Global Majority collective, took place ahead of International Women’s Day (IWD).

Women gathered at noon in Duke Street before heading to the rally at Trafalgar Square, chanting: “Say it once, say it again, no excuse for violent men” as they marched.

A group of African drummers and a marching band were among the demonstrators.
