Karen Olson, a global coordinator of the Women's March on Washington and catalyst for the local coalition that organized the Geneva march, tells RFE/RL that police told organizers that 2,000 marchers participated in Geneva, more than the 1,000-1,200 expected.
"In Geneva, we decided to hold a women's march in order to create a platform for everyone who agrees that women's rights are human rights and that we must be vigilant to protect the human rights and civil rights of all in this climate of uncertainty created by the rise of populism around the world that is acting as a vehicle for racism, sexism, bigotry, xenophobia, nationalism, and isolationism. Our key values are equality, diversity and inclusion with a focus on the cross-cutting issue of climate which affects us all."
"We in Geneva have understood that the old formula 'Think Global, Act Local' is now updated to 'Mobilize Global, Organize Local.'"

The Associated Press news agency is reporting that the organizers of the march in Washington are being prevented from leading the planned formal procession to the White House because crowds have packed the entire route.
Meanwhile, Grammy winner Angelique Kidjoo is now keeping the crowd entertained with an upbeat version of Sam Cooke's A Change Is Gonna Come.
Muhammad Ali's daughter, Maryum, has been speaking. She said she was at the march in honor of her father and "other great Muslims" as well as the "marginalized few."
She directed some of her comments at voter apathy, urging non-voters to actively participate in the political process and bemoaning how some people know everything about their favorite sports team but know nothing about local government.
Citing Barack Obama, she said "Don't boo, vote! [...] Don't get frustrated, get involved!"
Now another Grammy award winner, Norah Jones, has taken to the stage to sing "Girl On Fire"
Even though AP is reporting that the streets are too packed to march, organizers are now giving protesters directions for the procession, so maybe it's still going ahead. Stay tuned for more...
