However, they faced severe repression from Indonesian security forces. In Poland, meanwhile, the first Pride march took place in the city of Plock which saw the participation of over 2,000 LGBTQ rights activists. Also, in the Brazilian capital Brasilia, over a 100,000 peasant women took part in the 2019 Daisies’ March, in defense of rural workers' rights.
