https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Women%27s_MarchThe 2017 Women's March was a political rally that took place in cities around the world on January 21–22, 2017 (depending on time zone), to promote women's rights, immigration reform, and LGBTQ rights; and to address racial inequities, workers' issues, Black Lives Matter, and environmental issues. It was initially centered on Washington, D.C., and was known as the Women's March on Washington.[9] The Women's March was organized as a grassroots movement and took place on the day after the inauguration of President Donald Trump on January 20. It aimed to "send a bold message to our new administration on their first day in office, and to the world that women's rights are human rights",[10] and drew an estimated three times as many people as the inauguration.[11] The march was streamed live in Washington, D.C., on YouTube,[12] Facebook, and Twitter.[13]
Marches occurred worldwide, with 408 marches reported in the U.S. and 168 in other countries.[14] The march drew hundreds of thousands to D.C. alone, and millions worldwide.[15][16]
