Fearless girls: A 50-inch-high statue titled ‘Fearless Girl’ faces the Charging Bull on Wall Street on Wednesday in New York. A big investment firm, State Street Global Advisors, installed the statue to mark International Women's Day and to push for more women on company boards and in top roles.
The work is by artist Kristen Visbal. Elsewhere, women across the world took out marches and rallies to celebrate the day. In Seattle, women raise slogans and hold up signs during a rally.
Throngs of demonstrators, mostly women and many wearing red, rallied in New York and Washington to protest against President Donald Trump's policies towards women. A protester poses during a march in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The text written around her neck reads "I decide" in Spanish.
