2017 sprung away. Looking back, I can say that 2017 was the year of resistance and battles. Here are awesome examples of people not accepting the things the way they are.

The women’s march

A day after Trump’s inauguration, thousands of women marched for their rights. Cities, where marches took place, include Washington D.C., New York, Seattle, California, and Paris.

Travel ban

People of America showed their protest to Trump’s new travel ban. The message they wanted to be heard was simple: Immigrants make America great!

 

#MeToo

One of the most scandalous confession of the year was revealing sexual assaults in Hollywood. Shortly the hashtag went viral, and even women in congress came out to show dirty side of political life.
