March 8 (UPI) -- People marked International Women's Day on Saturday, including in several U.S. cities where demonstrators protested against President Donald Trump and his administration. The group Women's March called on women to "Unite and Resist."
"This is a protest rally against the Trump administration and the Musk administration as well as celebrating International Women's Day," the group says on its website, which directs people to local events. The group called for a similar demonstration in 2017 during Trump's first term as president. Demonstrators took to the streets of New York City Saturday, rallying against Trump and calling for equality.
International Women's Day was first officially recognized in 1922 in Russia under leader Vladimir Lenin and became prominent on an international level in 1977 following a declaration by the United Nations. The organization held an event in New York City earlier this week calling for equal rights across the world. Amnesty International said International Women's Day this year is exceptionally significant.
"The significance of International Women's Day 2025 cannot be overstated. It is no longer a case of addressing unfinished business on the gender justice front, but one of bracing ourselves to resist active regression and a mounting assault on our rights," Amnesty International's Secretary General Agnès Callamard said in a statement on the organization's website.
