More than one million people are expected to attend women’s marches around the world today to demonstrate against sexism and sexual violence and call for women’s rights following the inauguration of US President Donald Trump. A Facebook plea by a Hawaii grandmother to march in response to Trump’s election was credited for igniting the global movement, with more than 600 marches planned. In a show of solidarity with the main march in the US capital, Washington DC, marchers will take to the streets of major world capitals such as London and New Delhi, and in far-flung spots from Macau to Mexico to Madagascar. “Resistance Knows No Borders,” read a sign advertising a march in front of the US Embassy in Tel Aviv.— Reuters
