Article Evaluation

The article that I chose to evaluate is about the 2017 Women's March that takes place in Washington DC. This article discusses a protest march that is worldwide where women fight for the rights that include; women's rights, immigration reform, healthcare, abortion, LGBTQ rights, and equality. The purpose of the march is to help send a message to those who are in the office. Hundreds of thousands of people attend and support the march-the majority of these people are women. The women's marches are known as being nonviolent with no police needing to be involved to take action. Everything is in fact relevant to the article topic; it discusses the background, preparation and planning, messaging and visual imagery, response, follow-up, and lastly the location. As I was reading thought the article, I did get distracted until I realized that the "pussyhat project" was a project that was also a part of the march. I found this article very interesting due to the fact that my friends mom used to go to the march and I have never actually fully looked into it. The cites that are included at the bottom of the page are valid sources and do in fact support the claims. Each works cited has information that comes from various websites that are newsletters and factual sites. The newsletters display to the readers articles of these events that have been occurring for the last 45 years. This march is current and will still occur in the future, therefore the page is not out of date. The last edit that was recorded from this article was on February 2, 2018. On the 'talk' tab, the only concern with the page that other editors wrote about was the fact that the number of marchers was inaccurate-including marchers in locations other than D.C. I was unable to find a certain rating however the wiki projects that the march was included in was; Wiki project of women's history, Wiki Gender studies, Wiki Donald trump, and Wiki Women's articles. The women's march relates to what we discussed in class would relate closely to the slut shaming walk that was discussed in the text. The slutshamer's not only protested about sexual assault victims but they also fought for their rights. The women's march should be something that should be brought up in discussion due to the fact that it would inform others about what exactly the march is and how women from around the world can make a difference.
