An Expansive Global Reach of Women's Solidarity in Affirmation of Human Rights
After Saturday's overwhelming global showing by women in marches across the world in affirmation of human, civil and reproductive rights, now there can be no mistake or misjudgment as to the expansive and involved solidarity reach of women worldwide.
That millions of women, their spouses, their children, their families, their friends and their associates, gathered peacefully in some 673 locations across the globe to send a message to a new administration in the White House, in Washington, DC, that they will not sit idly and allow their rights to be eroded, is an unprecedented global action against an unknown Donald Trump presidency.
The scale and breath of the global women's marches were extraordinary with crowd photography scientists confirming that in Washington, alone, the numbers rallying in the Women's March in the District of Columbia on Saturday, January 21, were three times the number appearing for the Presidential inauguration on the previous day.
Moreover, along with yesterday's named American and global cities cited on this Blog that took part in the Women's March, there were a number of other cities not mentioned. Therefore, to emphasize the significance and the reach of the Women's worldwide impact and global reach, following are some of the cities not stated yesterday that were part of the movement:[cities cited were taken from The New York Times]
