As Donald Trump lived his first full day in the White House, the first protest against some of his policies occurred on the streets of Washington.

More than a million people walked through the capital of the United States and other cities in the country this Saturday with a mission, to send a clear message to the new administration and to the world: women's rights are human rights.

The walk in the capital started shortly after 10 in the morning with a passionate speech by the actress and activist América Ferrera where she explained why she and thousands of other people have come together to oppose some of the new President's proposals.

"It has been a heartbreaking moment to be a woman and an immigrant in this country," said the artist. "Our dignity, our character, our rights have been under attack and a platform of hatred and division took power yesterday."

But the actress with Honduran roots does not lose hope. The President is not the United States. His cabinet is not the United States Congress. We are the United States, and we are here to stay,”the 32-year-old interpreter continued effusively.

Neither the cold nor the gray day with which capital dawned prevented thousands of people and families from taking to the streets to fight for their most basic rights. The concentrations spread to other cities such as New York, Chicago, Boston, among some others. In the rest of the world he also raised his voice to send a direct message to the new President.

In addition to the protagonist of Ugly Betty, personalities from the world, film and music such as Katy Perry, Ashley Judd, Scarlett Johansson, Marisa Tomei, Chrissy Teigen, wife of John Legend, and Madonna herself, who played two of her themes. "Welcome to the love revolution!" Said the singer.

Hillary Clinton's reaction was also swift and she addressed the protesters with a supportive message on her Twitter account. Thank you for fighting, speaking and marching for our values. It is more important than ever. I firmly believe that we are always stronger when we are united,”he wrote.

Those attending the march included women and men of all backgrounds, backgrounds, ages, and religions. As a sign of their solidarity with their peers of the same gender and in protest to Trump's policies, many of them wore a pink hat with kittens.

Women´s March on Washington is a meeting that was born in November 2016 before which they consider an intolerant speech by Donald Trump. Since then, its members have planned the march this Saturday in order to show their opposition to the positions of the new president.

Among many things, they defend and represent gender equality, the environment, fair immigration reform and the rights of the LGBT community.
