A small rural town in Nova Scotia, Canada held its own Women's March of 32 protesters - more than double the amount of its march in 2017.
The town of Sandy Cove only has 65 permanent residents and 12 marched last year, according to CBC .
"I think people were surprised that in a very small, isolated rural community that we were concerned enough about what was going on in the world … that we felt it was important enough to make a stand," said resident Gwen Wilson.
In preparation for the town's second Women's March, the town had hosted a series of talks on women's rights issues throughout the year as events unfolded in their southern neighbour. Sessions were group discussions about patriarchy, misogyny, and Canadian politics.
"I think it's fair to say this is a very conservative community and we feel we've opened a few eyes and ears," Ms Wilson said.
The nearest large march event was in Halifax, a nearly two-and-a-half hour drive from Sandy Cove.

As last year, the group walked along Highway 217, the only road that runs through the community.
Protesters rang bells, chanted, and one person pushed a baby along in a stroller as they braved the cold weather and wet roads.
Several participants wore the now infamous pink pussy hats as well.
Ms Wilson told CBC last year that US President Donald Trump 's stunning victory and the subsequent global organising of a march for women's rights was “one of those moments in history that you couldn’t stand by and passively observe”.
This year, they wanted to keep the momentum going and show their continued support for women all over the world.
