PHOTOS: African women march for their rights in Tel Aviv

Over 1,000 women asylum seekers and their children on Wednesday protested against a new detention center and called on the Israeli government to recognize their rights as refugees.

The march proceeded from south Tel Aviv to UNHCR offices and the U.S. embassy in an action following last week’s general strike and mass protests.
