Thousands of Women March in Poland & London Ahead of Women’s Day

HeadlineMar 07, 2017

And internationally, women’s protests marking the upcoming International Women’s Day have already begun. On Sunday, thousands of women took to the streets of Warsaw and other Polish cities to protest government plans to even further restrict abortion access. Meanwhile, thousands of women also marched in London, where human rights activist Bianca Jagger denounced President Trump.

Bianca Jagger: “So I’m calling today for equal pay, for gender equality, for end of violence against women and girls. And I’m calling, as well, for us to think about what we are facing with a president in the U.S. who wants to belittle women, who wants to reduce our rights, who wants to diminish us, and that we should stand up.”
