Across the country on Monday, tens of thousands of women marched to protest against gendered injustice. They left the jobs that don’t pay them enough. They left their unequal burden of unpaid work. They left schools and universities and homes to protest, once again, things women have been protesting about for decades. The fact that women are not safe at work. That they are not safe on their way home or after they get home. That they are not safe in childhood or old age. That wealthy white men who show such contempt for women’s lives, bodies, safety and futures are the ones writing the laws and policies that govern us.
