Thousands of women marched along London's South Bank on Sunday (March 5) ahead of International Women's Day to speak out for gender equality and call for more support for women refugees.
The rally, organised by the aid group CARE International, was intended to draw attention to the challenges being faced around the world by refugee women and girls.
Activist and singer Annie Lennox, who made a speech at the event, said the increasing number of refugees worldwide was a huge problem.
"There's the mother with the family unit, either in a refugee camp or trying to make some terrible journey to a safer haven. And it is really, I think, the figure is that we have more refugees now than ever," she said.
The march began at London's City Hall with Mayor Sadiq Khan, human rights campaigner Bianca Jagger and singer Emeli Sande among those taking part.
"The great thing about today, what we're trying to get across is the fight for equality, being a feminist, shouldn't just be for women," Khan said. "All of us, men, women, boys, girls, if you're older, younger, rich or poor, need to understand that actually this is a fight for all of us."
