This weekend, Quito will host three marches in celebration of International Women's Day, which falls on March 8. The marches are scheduled to start from popular locations including Parque El Arbolito, the Caja del Seguro Social, and Parque El Ejido. To facilitate the events and ensure public safety, the Metropolitan Transit Agency (AMT) has identified various road closures throughout the city.

On the day of the event, the main march will take place starting from Parque El Arbolito and the Caja del Seguro. Concurrently, at 2 PM, a follow-up walk called "Why do we march?" will commence at Parque El Ejido, creating a consistent flow of participants in the area. Authorities will be present to manage these closures and monitor traffic as the marches progress, highlighting the significance of these events in advocating for women's rights.

The reported road closures are an essential aspect of managing the logistics of the marches as they draw significant public participation. These events reflect ongoing advocacy for women's issues in Ecuador and demonstrate the city's commitment to gender equality, giving voice to various societal concerns such as violence against women, discrimination, and health rights.
