In the ‘70s, the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which guaranteed a woman the same rights as a man, was a milestone which was passed by Congress in 1972. In 1976, women marched for the first time, demanding the same exact privileges, identical rights, as men. About 16,000 women gathered together to protest. Being the first march women participating in, thousands of women found inspiration in their power and decided to continue embracing that very power they had until they saw the results they were constantly seeking. About forty years later, women are still marching for the same reason.

American women are not the only people seeking equality. American men are not the only ones demanding equality for their women either. People outside of America, all around the world, marched for justice. According to Politic Us USA, "Women's March Is The Biggest Protest In US History As An Estimated 2.9 Million March. Millions of Americans have taken to the streets from New York to Los Angeles and everywhere in between as the Women's Marches on Washington is estimated to be the biggest one-day protest in US history”. We are united and we are truth.

Women will not, and are not stopping. Chrissy Teigen, John Legend, Emma Watson, Amy Schumer, Alicia Keys, Madonna, Jake Gyllenhaal, Gina Rodriguez, Rihanna, Zendaya, Scarlett Johansson, Katy Perry, Ethan Klapper, Miley Cyrus… from New York to Washington D.C., London to Los Angeles, celebrities joined to movement to not only march, but speak on behalf of all American women. Scarlett Johansson, who spoke up for the one in five American women who rely on Planned Parenthood for health care touched the heart of thousands of women who stand with Planned Parenthood. Like Scarlett, Alicia Keys spoke on behalf of other Americans who march for equality and safety. “No hate. No bigotry. No Muslim registry”. In this century, us women demand respect.

Demonstration: A public exhibition of the attitude of a group of persons toward a controversial issue, or other matter, made by picketing, parading etc.

As a public, we will not let one man scare, control or define thousands of women. We will march, parade, and protest until we FINALLY see equality. We aren't just a movement, we are a manifestation.

I could proudly say I was a part of a movement. I will always be part of this movement. I am a proud, growing women who will always embrace her qualities, never let a man talk down on me, and will always cherish the fact that I am a part of “HERstory”.
