Power of the Woman

          The Women's March on January 21 was such a huge moment for me. At the time women were made to feel their lowest. And despite all the struggles to get our voice heard, we were patient and waited. But a final thing sparked the hidden anger in millions of women around the world.

           The march took place mainly in DC and LA but all around the world thousands of women protested and marched for another attempt of getting their voice heard. Over 800,000 women filled the streets of Washington DC and Los Angeles. Thousands of posters with meaningful messages. Many marchers chose to wear pink hats or pink clothing. Among the thousands of women were also men with the same intent to spread to message of women suffrage.

           The "Land of the Free" has allowed a racist, ignorant, Islamophobic superstar to become the leader of our nation. Basically the leader of the world with the amount of influence this nation has over the rest of the world. And with all the comments and threats made against Muslims, helpless immigrants, and, women, someone had to do something before it escalated. And with multiple attempts from thousands of people to extinguish the problem, the power of women refused to be silenced again.

            I've always been a witness and victim to the notion that women were the helpless, and lesser species. Culture and religion has shaped our society in a way to make women under men when in fact women were made to birth half and raise the other half. The very glue that is keeping our world together is suffering so much and the most upsetting thing is that all this suffrage can end if men just accept that women are just as important. This march was so meaningful to me as a huge feminist and believer in equality for all. Those women didn't just protest for women, they protested for Muslims, for innocence, for equality. And I'll be damned if we let this torture continue.
