American women seized upon the momentum of the Women's March on Washington on Jan 21, the day after Trump's inauguration, once again denouncing his policies on abortion and healthcare. Debra Sands, 37, a middle school teacher, joined thousands of women at New York City's Central Park after her students convinced her to attend. Rallies were held in numerous US cities, including Washington, where demonstrators gathered at the US Labor Department. In Tbilisi, Georgia, women performed "Glass Ceiling," simulating being trapped by the barely visible barrier that stands between women and workplace equality. Trump, whose 11-year-old comments about grabbing and kissing women against their will surfaced during the campaign, took to his Twitter account early on Wednesday to cite International Women's Day and the "critical role" of women around the world.
