Assault Charges: Women and March

assault charges: The day on March 8 takes place a little over a month after the Women's March on Washington, according to NOW Magazine. The historic protest against Donald Trump and his sexist, racist presidential campaign sparked dozens of satellite marches around the globe, including one in Toronto attracting 60,000 participants. For many reasons, International Women's Day feels more vital this year than ever. That rally was just the tip of the iceberg. Last March, Jian Ghomeshi was acquitted of all five sexual harassment and assault charges held against him. This past year saw hundreds of more incidents where women, racialized women, Muslim women, Black women, Indigenous women, transgender women and members of the LGBTQ community continued to be marginalized.
