The Women's March, a global phenomenon, didn't materialize out of thin air. Its roots delve deep into a rich history of women fighting for equality. While often associated with the 2017 march protesting the inauguration of Donald Trump, the spirit of the movement echoes decades of activism. Think back to the Suffragettes, demanding the right to vote, their tireless efforts paving the way. Think of the Civil Rights movement, where women played crucial, often overlooked, roles.
The 2017 march, arguably the largest single-day protest in US history, brought together diverse voices advocating for women's rights, human rights, and social justice. Issues like reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and racial equality were brought to the forefront. The impact was undeniable, sparking conversations and inspiring continued activism. Today, the Women's March continues to evolve, a testament to the ongoing fight for a more just and equitable world, building upon the legacy of those who marched before us.
