Last year’s Women’s Marches denounced President Trump (who had made sexually demeaning comments about women), and his views on abortion, immigration, religious freedom and LGBT rights.
In the wake of the last election, and with the rise of the #MeToo movement against sexual misconduct, this year’s marches are also focusing on voter registration drives and the increase in the number of women running for political office in 2018.
