Tens of thousands of women have taken to the streets of Europe to protest against male violence against women. 

Huge crowds of protestors were seen in Munich and Rome on Saturday as marchers held up signs reading: 'Be free from violence' and 'Love has no bruises.' 

The marches were planned to commemorate the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, which occurred on Thursday. 

The day is celebrated on November 25 each year after it was first made official by the United Nations (UN) in 1999. 

In Munich, Germany, signs declared: 'A woman's place is in the revolution', while another said: 'Stop violence against women.' 

Meanwhile, the house of the far-right nationalist fraternity Sudetia was attacked with paint as 'Nazis and sexists! ' was scribbled on the wall. 

In the Italian capital, the huge march, attended by tens of thousands of supporters, was organised by the Non una di meno (Not one more) feminist movement.

One placard read: 'Violence is structural, the root is cultural, the problem is patriarchal.' 

Flares were set off in both cities while drummers and music spurred the marchers on. 

Some 736 million women worldwide - almost one in three - have been subjected to intimate partner violence, non-partner sexual violence, or both at least once in their life, according to statistics from the UN.
