Thousands of women from across the US, many wearing bright pink hats, on Saturday poured in the nation’s capital to protest against Donald Trump’s allegedly anti-women views, just a day after the billionaire Republican was sworn in as 45th US President.
With banners and posters like “women rights are human rights,” hundreds and thousands of women protesters poured in downtown Washington, and were
joined by several lawmakers including Indian-American Ami Bera.
The Washington march, expected to attract around one million people, was just one of a series of marches planned across major world capitals like london, Sydney and Tokyo, to raise awareness on women’s and civil rights, seemingly under threat in Trump presidency.
“Congratulations to the women marching today. We must go forward to ensure full reproductive justice for all women. #WomensMarch,” Senator Bernie Sanders said in a tweet, asking his supporters to join the first protest against Trump.
