"Marea fuchsia" parades through the capital.
The feminist march in Rome started under the motto "if we stop, the world stops".
Thousands of people have already taken to the streets of the Circus Maximus for the general strike called by the transfeminist movement
Non Una di Meno
.
The march opened with a banner reading: "Let's strike against patriarchal violence".
There were many slogans and banners displayed by the demonstrators: "Educate your children".
"It's absurd to feel privileged to still be alive."
And again: "Insult, rape, kill, you want us to be silent, you will have made us angry. Destroy the patriarchy."
Today, however, it is also for the women of Gaza.
Many banners and flags for Palestine: "We are with you".
Many students came to demonstrate, especially against government policies: "Not in our name. Meloni complicit in genocide".
A delegation from the Palestinian Students Movement also arrived in the square.
"We strike against the war that produces death and commits all resources to rearmament, makes us poorer and erases rights and freedoms. We strike for an immediate ceasefire and against the genocide taking place in Palestine", one of the demands of the Non manifesto One less.
"We strike against the Meloni government, against the wave of authoritarianism that restricts the right to demonstrate and criminalizes dissent. We strike against a "god, fatherland, family" model of society, for the right to health and self-determination for all."
"We are striking because we want to be alive and free in the streets", they continue.
