Explanation / Answer
100 women initially gathered together to plan for a march against Donald Trump’s racist, sexist and anti-religious proposals. These women were from different backgrounds. They were also marching for women to support Hilary Clinton for her presidential election. One lady was with her infant and she was among the first ones who gathered and this stood out the most because the lady was there for that child. It will be more effective because when we look at the crowd gathered for this first march, we can definitely believe that there will be more march because women haven’t got all their rights.
Normally women marchers march for their rights such as, property, education, voting, pay equality etc. But this time they are marching for everyone. They were marching for equality of all races, women empowerment and religious freedom. They are all effective if it doesn’t get to violence. With the amount of media coverage and social networking sites, even a small group of people or an individual can attract more like minded people.
