Survivors of sexual violence among emotional demonstrators brought together in fight for equality when women’s rights under threat globally
Tens of thousands take to streets across UK to march in solidarity with oppressed women around world
Survivors of sexual violence were among the tens of thousands who have taken to the streets across the UK to march in solidarity with all oppressed women and girls around the world.
Around 5,000 demonstrators walked alongside loved ones and strangers in London on Saturday, shouting chants like “My body, my choice,” and “What do we want? Safety. When do we want it? Now,” while intricate homemade signs reading “And still we rise” and “Women hold up half the sky” were held up.
Organisers estimated up to 21,000 women turned out at 21 marches around the country, coming together in their fight for equality at a pivotal time and two days ahead of Donald Trump’s inauguration.
