The Women's March is a series of worldwide protests and movements that began on January 21, 2017, aimed at advocating for legislation and policies regarding women's rights, as well as addressing issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence against women. It originally started as a response to the inauguration of President Donald Trump, but has since evolved into a broader movement focusing on social justice and human rights issues.
