On International Women Day March 8, 2025, thousands of people gathered in Paris to celebrate women rights and protest against various forms of oppression, among these protesters were activists from the group Femen who demonstrated against the rise of fascism in America and Europe. The Femen, known for their provocative methods marched topless in Paris drawing attention to their cause and highlighting the intersection of feminist issues with broader societal concerns like fascism.

Femen is a radical feminist group founded in Ukraine in 2008 known for its daring protests against patriarchy, sexism and religious oppression, on International Women Day, Femen activists joined thousands of others in Paris to emphasize the need for gender equality and to condemn the resurgence of far-right ideologies in Europe and the U.S. The event in Paris was part of a global movement, with similar protests held in cities like Brussels, Rome, and Istanbul, where women demanded an end to gender-based violence and advocated for stronger social protections.

There was a mix of celebration and activity throughout the Paris demonstration. Feminist activists especially attacked the growth of fascism, although many participants concentrated on concerns like as violence against women and the gender pay gap, they carried banners and chants denouncing far-right ideology and its effects on women rights as they marched through the streets frequently without a top, the march was made more inflammatory by Femen attendance, which attracted media attention and sparked conversations about the function of radical activism in feminist movements.

Concern over the decline of women rights and the growth of far-right movements around the world is reflected in the demonstrations in Paris and other cities, the rise of populist and nationalist ideologies in Europe has raised concerns about the possible reversal of hard-won rights like equal pay and access to abortion, similar worries have been voiced in the United States, especially in light of recent judicial assaults to reproductive rights.

Organizations such as Femen will continue to play an important role as feminist movements continue to develop, although their approaches are contentious they demonstrate how urgent it is to address systemic injustices and how drastic action is required to subvert patriarchal norms, feminist activism convergence with more general social concerns including anti fascism highlights how intricate modern social movements are and how teamwork is necessary to attain social justice and gender equity.

To summarize, Femen demonstration in Paris on International Women Day 2025 was a part of a global campaign to draw attention to the difficulties women confront and to denounce the emergence of far-right beliefs, it proved that radical feminist activism is still relevant today for fighting repressive regimes and promoting social change.
