A group of around 150 women ignored police orders to disperse in Geneva last night.
The demonstration was called by the ‘Collective for a Revolutionary Feminism’ and started on the Place Simon-Goulart.
Police in riot gear surrounded the women and demanded them to move as the protest was unauthorized and blocking traffic.
The crowd responded by chanting everyone hates the police. They later started throwing missiles.
There are no reports of arrests.
