The main march in Barcelona started at Jardinets de Gràcia and concluded at Arc de Triomf. Local police, the Guàrdia Urbana, confirmed the attendance figures for the first of several planned rallies in the city. Similar protests were held in Girona, Lleida, and Tarragona, focusing on anti-racist and anti-capitalist feminist struggles.
“"We must stop using feminism as an excuse to start wars."
Political leaders from across the spectrum joined the demonstrations. Representatives from the Catalan Government and parties including PSC, ERC, and Junts called for collective responsibility and increased resources to ensure real equality for women in all sectors of society.
