AI Summary:
International Women’s Day is the first planned public demonstration since the Kurdistan Workers’ Party announced a ceasefire last week. Protestors pushed back against the idea of women’s role being confined to marriage and motherhood. The government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared 2025 the Year of the Family. Critics have accused the government of overseeing restrictions on women's rights. Many women are expected to gather in the evening on the European side of Istanbul for a Feminist Night March despite a ban. In recent years, authorities have blocked efforts by women to demonstrate in Taksim Square. Nearby metro stations were closed from the early afternoon and streets, including one of the city’s main shopping thoroughfares, were sealed off with barriers.
