During the impassioned speech, the woman said that the campaign is a women’s campaign.

Speaking on the country’s latest abortion case, where a young women was refused an abortion and a c-section was carried out, she said:

“The hospitals in this wretched country gave her a horrible disservice.

“I am sorry to the women who are still having to go through this s**t in this country because of a cowardly government.”

She then addressed the men who attended the rally:

“I want to address all the men in this audience. All the men who have with their female friends who have come here today to be with us, to support us.

“I want to talk to all the men today, who made placards and banners of pro-choice.

“I want to talk to the men today who made countless articles to show support to women to have body autonomy for themselves

“I am saying to all those men – know your place. This is a women’s movement. And your support, as much as it's always needed, you must always remember you are here are here to support women.

“If you see any man, any man, friend or foe – if they are against any women who are trying to speak about their experience - you know nothing about it.

“You must listen to them, you must never tell them of any women’s studies or international development course that you decide of your won free choice to participate in. Your debate is not my life.

“I love and respect and appreciate the men who do this. But remember your place. This is a women’s movement.”
