This year's event was the second Women's March to ever take place.
Excerpt:
Hundreds of thousands of women across the U.S. gathered to protest for women's rights in the country, but one organization withdrew from the event in solidarity with Palestine.
The Palestinian American Women's Association (PAWA) pulled its participation in the march because Jewish actress Scarlett Johansson was among the featured speakers in the event. ...
The Palestine Institute for Public Diplomacy (PPID) told StepFeed that around 700 children are arrested by Israel every year. In 2017 alone, Israeli forces arrested 1,150 Palestinian children.
Some of these children are as young as 9 and 10 and undergo severe and traumatic experiences that scar them for life. Arrests often take place in the early hours of the night, while the children are still sleeping in their beds. They are then taken to centers for interrogation, where they experience physical and psychological torture.
