India witnessed its first women’s march Thursday where ciswomen, non-binary, and transwomen took to the streets in 20 states all over India to denounce the politics of hate of the far-right government of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The protesters also appealed to people to not vote for the right-wing government this upcoming election on April 11 and asked for a change from the atmosphere of hate and fear.
