The action urges women to strike or avoid making purchases to highlight women’s importance in society. It follows marches in the United States and across the world on January 21 against the election of Donald Trump to the presidency of the United States.
Impacts

This could lead to increases in unsafe abortion, and higher maternal death rates.
In Europe, the rise of far-right governments may also result in reversals in legislation protecting women’s rights.
