Hundreds of thousands of women in the United States and around the world are marching on Jan. 21 to send a message to President Donald Trump on his first full day in office that women’s rights are human rights. Protesters are calling for racial and gender equality, affordable health care and abortion rights - issues they fear will be under threat during the Trump presidency.
