International Women's Day march in Manhattan sees call to reject Trump admin attacks on civil rights | amNewYork
Briefly

On International Women's Day, thousands marched in Manhattan from Washington Square Park to Union Square, protesting against the Trump administration's endeavors to diminish women's and transgender rights. This event not only commemorated the achievements of women but also highlighted persistent inequalities in areas such as healthcare, pay, and workplace gender disparities. Activists voiced concerns about the impact of Trump's policies, particularly through the far-right Project 2025, which they fear will reverse progress made in women's and LGBTQ+ rights, including threatening reproductive rights and protections against discrimination.
