International Women’s Day march in Manhattan sees call to reject Trump admin attacks on civil rights

Several thousand New Yorkers marched in Manhattan on International Women’s Day Saturday to demand that the Trump administration stop attempting to limit the rights of female and transgender Americans.

The March 8 event began with a rally at Washington Square Park that preceded a march northward to Union Square. While International Women’s Day celebrates the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women, it also acknowledges the ongoing fight for women to achieve equality in America in healthcare, social justice, equal pay, and gender disparities in the workplace.
