The primary purpose of the Women's March on Washington in 2017 was to advocate for women's rights and emphasize the importance of social justice, equality, and human rights protections. Occurring the day after President Donald Trump's inauguration, the march attracted millions of participants, making it one of the largest protests in U.S. history. Organizers aimed to address various issues, including reproductive rights, pay equity, and gender-based violence. The event also sought to unite diverse groups advocating for change, highlighting how women's rights are interconnected with civil rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and environmental justice. It marked a significant moment in the contemporary feminist movement.
