Why We March (abroad):
A selection of quotes gathered by Reuters from the march in Sydney:
"So the message today is not just to [U.S. President Donald] Trump. The message today is to all the regressive, political agendas around the globe, including those in Australia, that we are not going to be silenced while there is still bigotry, and sexism, and racism, that's part and parcel in national policy. So, this isn't just, this is not an anti-Trump march per se, this is a pro-equality march and a pro-human rights march."
-- event organizer Mindy Freiband
"Look really, it's a protest against misogyny, it's a protest against the rise of fascism in Western politics. It's a protest, you know, we a protesting for inclusiveness and equality, and that's really what today is all about."
-- protester Helen Jovanovic
"We want to send the sign to the women in the United States that we are all in this together."
-- protester Stef Voft

There's still time ...
Less than 30 minutes to go. Lots of live feeds, like this one courtesy of "Joe Justice" on Periscope.
Marches are taking place all across the United States.
