Marches, protests and strikes were observed all around the world as people came together to celebrate International Women's Day and push for sexual equality globally.
Activists from feminist group Femen singled out Hamburg's red light district for their protest on Friday, breaking down a gate that seals off a notorious street of brothels.
Wearing body paint with slogans saying 'women are not goods', some bare-breasted members of the organisation took power tools to the metal barrier.
Femen Germany posted on its Facebook page later: 'We destroyed a highly-symbolic gate today of a public street inaccessible to women.

Around 4,000 people chanted slogans and protested against the president of the Philippines, who has repeatedly made jokes about rape and last year admitted indecently touching the family maid when he was a teenager.
Aides brushed off his comments as jokes, but activists have denounced his 'misogynistic' statements as 'unacceptable', pointing to statistics showing a 153 per cent increase in rape from the decade before he was elected.
With one woman or child is raped in the Philippines every hour, activists aiming to raise awareness about gender-based violence staged an exhibition of clothes worn by victims, called 'Don't tell me how to Dress'.

In Pyongyang, Flower Shop No. 5 did a brisk trade in flowers on International Women's Day, which is a full public holiday in North Korea, as a steady stream of customers turned up to buy blooms for their wives, mothers and significant others.
As the North's founder Kim Il Sung once said: 'In our country, women are in charge of one of the wheels of the revolution'.
And his attitude has expression in the dictionary which features sample phrases like 'If women are confined to their homes and remain away from labour and organisational life they cannot be revolutionised.'
Pope Francis meanwhile praised women as the source of peace, hailing their contribution to building a world 'that can be a home for all'.

On receiving the 100,000-euro prize ($112,000) Doumara dedicated it to 'all women victims of violence and forced marriages' and to those who had escaped the clutches of Boko Haram, the jihadist movement which emerged in Nigeria a decade ago and has terrorised the region.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
