Women are leaving messages for Trump on pads around the world
In the aftermath of global protests yesterday, the Women’s March has left people across the globe fired-up and ready to make their voices heard.
With many pledging to join the 100 days of resistance against Donald Trump, some have decided to get to work by leaving strong messages for him and all to see.
Cities around the world have been embellished with sanitary pads over the last 24 hours, each one bearing an important message on behalf of the movement.
With slogans like ‘proud to be a nasty woman’ and ‘women fight back’, the feminist movement – and, indeed, the movement towards equality for everyone – has truly been ignited by the events of the last few months.

“Imagine if some men were as disgusted with rape as they are with periods” was the message on one sanitary pad, stuck to a public bench in D.C.

Clearly, many didn’t come equipped to share their sanitary pad message, so they instead decided to improvise and make the best of what they had.
Hanging like Christmas tree ornaments, bras of all colours and sizes decorated trees in Washington D.C. and cities across the U.S. and the world.

With pictures like these, it’s impossible not to feel inspired by the events that transpired yesterday.
