It’s been just over one year since millions of women and men all over the world took to the streets for the Women’s March, protesting newly-inaugurated President Trump, and marching for civil rights.  A year later, women and men around the world came out Saturday once again in a show of solidarity.

Professor Dana Fisher surveyed nearly 1,500 participants at the original Women's March and at other major demonstrations over the last year.
