This week, a "caravan of migrants," a group of Central American migrants that once numbered well over 1,000 people, continued to push its way north through Mexico, only some are continuing on to the US border — where they will attempt to seek asylum in the United States. Other migrants also attempted to make their way across the Mediterranean Sea. Last week, more than 100 were rescued by the NGO 'SOS Mediterranee' of the 'Aquarius,' after their boat capsized. Protests in India against week rape laws continued. Springtime started to bloom in certain parts of the world. And people in Paris partook in a "color run" that saw an explosion of bright powders released under the Eiffel Tower.

Global Citizen is bringing you these pictures and more from around the world this week.
