The 2019 Women's March was a protest that occurred on January 19, 2019, in America. It follows the 2017 Women's March and 2018 Women's March.[1][2][3]
In 2017, a "Women's March" was held on January 21, 2017, following U.S. president Donald Trump's inauguration which attracted attention due to the controversial campaign, also supporting a variety of human rights. Example of rights included gender equality, civil rights, and future issues to arise.[4]
In February 2018,[5] the March became the focus of controversy following reports that three of the four lead organizers had attended events hosted by Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who has made remarks widely regarded as anti-Semitic. Perceptions that the group's leaders had failed to condemn the rhetoric and subsequent accusations of anti-Semitism within the organization itself led to former co-founder Teresa Shook to call for their resignations. These accusations were followed by the disassociation of numerous state chapters. By December 2018, The New York Times reported that "charges of anti-Semitism are now roiling the movement and overshadowing plans for more marches."[6]
News reports from across North America noted that turnout for the 2019 Women's March was lower compared to previous years, with potential reasons being poor weather, a decline in interest and controversy over protest organization in the United States with the controversies involving the March's leadership.[7][8][9][10][11] Although the third Women's March was significantly smaller than the previous years, thousands of people all across the U.S. still decided to partake in the march.[12]
