It was the largest nonviolent demonstration in
“herstory”. Millions showed up! Fortune Magazine’s latest estimate is that approximately 1
of every 100 USA citizens attended one of the demonstrations. Whether or not
you were able to participate in one of the marches that took place on January
21, 2017 is not as significant as being actively engaged in protecting women’s
rights. We must commit to gender equality which is Goal 5 of the Sustainable
Development Goals. The majority of human trafficking
victims are women and girls,
and 1 in 3 is a child. Thus, what you do to end slavery is significant. The U.
S. Department of State reminds us of actions we can take. Cautionary note: the Trump
Administration is modifying governmental websites on a daily basis so I don’t
know how long the link will remain posted.
