A man was manhandled by angry women who were participating in an International Women's Day march in Ankara on March 8.

Hundreds of women denounced domestic violence and the government's conservative stance on women's issues during the march organized in the Turkish capital's central district of Kızılay.

A small group of demonstrators pelted an electoral campaign office of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) with eggs as the cortege was passing nearby. One man who witnessed the protest was briefly roughed by a few demonstrators after he tried to stop them from carrying out such an act of protest.

One woman punched the man in the face before he managed to escape with the intervention of other bystanders.
