January 21st, 2017. One day into Trump's Presidency.

Feminists around the world--men and women--are standing up for what they believe in: Equality, for everyone. But what about a new administration's goals could inspire a WORLDWIDE movement, reaching places like Kenya, New Zealand, and numerous cities nationwide?

President Trump has the ability to appoint at least one new Supreme Court Justice due to the death of Justice Antonin Scalia last February. There is some question as to whether or not three of the more experienced Justices will retire, creating the potential for Trump to appoint not one, but 4 of the 9 Justices. Based on this, Trump expressed his desire to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade Case and give abortion legislation decisions back to the states--which means restricted access to abortions depending on the state you live in. He also promised during his campaign to defund Planned Parenthood as long as they continue to perform abortions, although they provide major health care options like birth control, STD testing and UTI testing among other things for women, as well as men's health care options.

Secondly, although his daughter has actively spoken out for equality in the workplace, Trump has yet to specify policies he has planned to make that a reality under his administration; something Clinton did by advocating for the Paycheck Fairness Act throughout her campaign. While his employees have confirmed that he pays men and women equal salaries, the Boston Globe reported that among his campaign staff, women made about $4,500 where men made on average $6,100.

Finally and perhaps the biggest issue Women's Rights Activists have with Trump is his nonchalance towards sexual harassment. From his comments in 2005 brought up during the campaign, to his response when asked what he would expect Ivanka to do if faced with sexual harassment in her workplace ("I would like to think she would find another career or find another company if that was the case,” was his response) further demonstrated his lack of respect--or understanding--of sexual harassment and the role it plays in the lives of women worldwide.Unfortunately, it is still a VERY real issue, and someone in such a powerful role with such a cavalier attitude implies that it won't be taken seriously.

While this article doesn't address every reason for demonstrating, hopefully it gives a little bit of insight to those still confused. We march for our rights, we march for ourselves, but most importantly, we march for each other. Empowered Women Empower Women, and we saw that worldwide on January 21st.
