On International Women’s Day, feminist activists marched as France formally sealed the constitutional amendment protecting the freedom to have an abortion. The constitutional change followed decades of organizing and a parliamentary vote on 4 March. The march made clear that formal recognition must be matched by accessible local services. A photograph from the Paris march, showing a feminist sign connecting Palestine and feminism, is available on Wikimedia Commons under CC BY 2.0; attribution to Jeanne Menjoulet applies. This entry links movement action and a state ceremony on the same date; it does not suggest that the ceremony alone secured access.
