Panama: Women's rights rallies ongoing nationwide on March 8

Women's rights activists are demonstrating across Panama on March 8 as part of the International Women's Day commemoration. Demonstrations have been reported in Bocas del Toro, Chiriqui, and Veraguas. In Panama City, activists gathered at Parque Porras before marching toward the Cinta Costera amphitheater for a rally.

Heightened security and disruptions to transport and business are likely around all demonstrations. Clashes between demonstrators and police cannot be ruled out.
