Women Around the Globe March for Recognition and Equality

As the Washington march was expected to draw as many as 200,000 people, cities across the country and the world, from San Diego to Sydney, Australia, saw similar robust gatherings — a point made by the event's honorary co-chair and feminist icon Gloria Steinem.

"I was just talking to people from our many sister marches, including the one in Berlin, and they asked me to send a special message: 'We in Berlin know that walls don't work,'" Steinem said to applause, referencing Trump's pledge to build a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico.

For Trump, whose presidential campaign was dogged by past allegations against him of sexual harassment, Steinem had more pointed advice: "A Twitter finger must not become a trigger finger."

While the march comes in response to Trump assuming the power of the Oval Office, it is also a warning that he will be challenged over the next four years, some demonstrators said.

"I wouldn't call it an anti-Trump march, I would call it a 'We are watching you, Trump' kind of march," said Ayesha Ahmed, who came from Chicago with the Muslim Women's Alliance.

The march also attracted significant support from celebrities, with actresses Scarlett Johansson and Ashley Judd and singers Alicia Keys and Madonna speaking to the crowd. Performers included Janelle Monaé, Maxwell and the Indigo Girls.

Dr. Trinka Coster, a retired Army colonel, said she was marching because she wants all Americans to get the same "socialized medicine" that soldiers and veterans get. "I'm just glad I retired in July," she said of Trump's elevation to commander in chief.

    Quoting  :

I can assure you that women are marching only, there is no riot. They are peacefully marching, protest Trump "hot head" attitude and "lewd" language. The peaceful demonstration is legal and under Constitution " First Amendment" i.e. Freedom of speech, religion and press. Police didn't arrest any woman on Saturday. Those women just marching on streets, shouting some slogans, e.g. Solidarity, Woman's Right equals to Human Right, Equal pay, .... holding signs with words. That was peaceful protest. This women marching has spread out to 70 countries. Is China included??? Chinese people usually are "silent lambs", but you are different.

However, police has arrested some people on Trump inauguration day, January 20th when those people burned trash cans and violent protesting.

We had an unprecedented the most controversial presidential election. Because Trump's sex scandals, women got raged, frustrated, disappointed, furious, they yelled and shouted that we want to have control of our bodies. There are signs in those protest women say "Don't grab my pus*y". The female singer sang "you gonna hear me roar" among the organized women march.

President's personality, character, attitude and behavior do matter. Trump has too many sex scandals. He is "thin skinned" that makes him fight with journalists, his competitors and mock the less fortunate people. He was born with "silver spoon" in his mouth. Trump is an arrogant person, Obama is a humble person. Trump signed "executive order" to repeal "Affordable Care" (Obama Care) on his inauguration day is like slap on Obama's face. We haven't see a health insurance replacement yet.

To me, personality do matter, language and action do matter.
