From the article:

This year International Women's Day coincided with China's annual parliamentary session, which usually has tight security and the police regularly detain activists in the lead-up to high-profile events deemed more sensitive.

Among the activities which the activists had planned were a march in a Beijing park where participants would wear stickers advocating safe sex and action against sexual harassment; and gatherings in Beijing and Guangzhou calling for awareness of sexual harassment on buses.
