Women rights activists are holding an unauthorised march in Istanbul, Turkey, to condemn violence against women.

The event takes place on 8 March when the International Women's Day is being marked globally.

Last year, Turkish police had to use tear gas during a similar unauthorised rally because the organisers had violated the municipality ban on demonstrations.
