March 8, which marks International Women's Day, is the occasion of a rare moment this year.
France symbolically chose this date for the ceremony to seal the Constitution, where the right to abortion has just been included, a world first.
This right, which protects the health and freedom of women, is a universal fight for feminism which, however, has never been achieved: it is in decline in several countries such as the United States or Poland, and is still prohibited in around twenty countries in the world.
The fight for women's rights continues elsewhere as well.
In Iran or Afghanistan in particular, where they are violently kept as second-class citizens.

The war between Israel and Hamas, or in Ukraine and elsewhere, sees women attacked.
They are often victims of sexual violence, a terrible weapon of war.
On March 8, women are in the headlines, but what about the rest of the time?
Would they not deserve to be given more of a voice in the political space and international discussions?
Turkish cartoonist Ahmed Rahma asks the question and reminds us that the fight for women's rights is not limited to the date of March 8.
Born in 1986, Ahmed Rahma worked for eight years for the Al-Jazeera news channel and the Alaraby Aljadeed newspaper.
He currently collaborates with the Qatari newspaper Al-Sharq and the daily Al-Quds Al-Arabi.
Cartooning for Peace is an international network of cartoonists committed to promoting, through the universality of press cartoons, freedom of expression, human rights and mutual respect between populations of different cultures or beliefs.
