Women unite across continents against Trump

One thing the American President Donald Trump has achieved in record time(only 2 days since he assumed office) is the way in which he could unite all his opponents, across continents, to come together against him.

The women’s march in Washington was followed by sister marches in all continents, including Antarctica! Organizers’ informal tally now puts the total number of march participants at a stunning 2.5 million around the world. And with an estimated 500,000 marchers on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., the Women’s March is now the largest inaugural protest in U.S. history. And the unique feature of these marches is that they have been peaceful, spontaneous and upbeat. The slogans chanted and the placards carried are highly creative.

The participants and journalists covering the protests are capturing the momentous uprisings all over the globe for all of us- these photos capture some of the people’s mood:

These protests give us hope that there are many who are standing and fighting for a better future than what our ‘elected leaders’ can give us.
