Women who did not recognize the arbitrary ban on protests imposed by the Istanbul Governor's Office, went to Taksim chanting the slogan "Jin Jiyan Azadî," to mark 25 November, International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. In Taksim and its surroundings, where a state of emergency was declared, women walked from Tünel and Galata to Karaköy, breaking through police blockades.

The police blocked the way of the women, and took many into custody, throwing them to the ground with violence. The police also blocked the way of women who wanted to walk from Galata to Karaköy, the second point of the gathering, and stopped them. Women protested this arbitrary practice with slogans.
