The Women's March (also known as the Women's March Movement, or the Women's March on Washington, and its Sister Marches), was a worldwide protest on January 21, 2017, in support of women's rights and other causes including immigration reform, health care reform, protection of the natural environment, LGBTQ rights, racial justice, freedom of religion, and for workers' rights. The rallies were aimed at Donald Trump, immediately following his inauguration President of the United States, and especially at his statements and positions some regarded as anti-women or in other ways reprehensible It stands as the largest one-day protest in U.S. history.
