Despite the fear and trepidation shared by many at that time, I’m not sure anyone could have predicted the quite the wild ride American citizens – and indeed global citizens – have been on since. Our existence is now one of alternative facts, widespread distrust of government institutions, and unrepentant discriminatory efforts from the most powerful person in the world.In amongst all the doom and gloom, however, positives have emerged since Trump’s election; these include a reenergised and refocused women’s movement. A movement that made itself seen and heard on the very first day of his presidency, with worldwide marches attracting millions of people. This weekend those marches will be replicated, as they were the previous year, including here in Australia. It begs the question whether two years on, these demonstrations against Trump’s accession to office are still relevant? equalityfeminismmetoo Best Of Future Women Culture “Never an excuse”: Why Katrina still can’t stand the smell of bourbon By Sally Spicer Culture Janine never thought divorce would mean losing her family and friends By Sally Spicer Culture “Invisible victims”: Why Conor was forced to live in an unsafe home By Sally Spicer Culture Miranda*’s mothers group helped her escape abuse.
