Protestors to demonstrate against violence against women in Rome, Italy, Nov. 26. Increased security, localized disruptions likely.
Event
Protestors plan to demonstrate against violence against women in central Rome, Nov. 26. Attendees will gather at Piazza della Repubblica from 14:00, and then march to Piazza San Giovanni. Tens of thousands of demonstrators may take part, based on last year's figures. The march route will follow viale Luigi Einaudi, via Cavour, piazza Esquilino, via Liberiana, via Merulana, via Dello Statuto, piazza Vittorio and via Emanuele Filiberto.
Authorities will almost certainly deploy additional police to monitor and facilitate the demonstration. Large crowds and associated security measures, including road closures and movement restrictions, will likely prompt localized transport disruptions. Public transport services in the area could be canceled or diverted. The demonstration is likely to pass peacefully.
Advice
Avoid the demonstration as a routine security precaution and to mitigate associated disruptions. Check for disruptions and allow extra time for travel in the affected area Nov. 26.
