Women from urban poor communities march toward a government housing to mark International Women's Day on March 8, 2017 in Bulacan, Philippines. Thousands of women, together with their families, from various urban poor communities led a coordinated occupation of vacant and idle government housing units in Bulacan province, north of Manila to assert their rights for free and mass housing which the group says the Duterte government failed to implement to date. According to authorities, there are 52,341 idle houses that were for police and military personel, but only 8,327 are occupied. International Women's Day was first marked in 1911 and celebrated each year on 08 March with thousands of events around the world by women's networks. (Photo by Jes Aznar/Getty Images)
