<span data-start-time='4354' data-end-time='11625'>In the United States, some people will be marking the day by protesting.</span> <span data-start-time='11625' data-end-time='16938'>Wednesday is being called “A Day Without a Woman.”</span> <span data-start-time='16938' data-end-time='25792'>Organizers of the Women’s March on Washington proposed the demonstration in the United States.</span> <span data-start-time='25792' data-end-time='40771'>Like that march in January, organizers say the protest is in reaction to President Donald Trump’s position on women’s issues and comments he has made about women.</span> <span data-start-time='40771' data-end-time='49063'>But unlike the women’s march, Wednesday’s protest centers on the absence of women.</span> <span data-start-time='49063' data-end-time='57000'>Organizers are calling for women to take the day off work and are urging them not to spend money Wednesday.</span> <span data-start-time='57000' data-end-time='79479'>They say “A Day Without a Woman” is a way to bring attention to, in their words, “the enormous value that women of all backgrounds add to our socio-economic system -- while receiving lower wages and experiencing greater inequalities.”</span> <span data-start-time='79479' data-end-time='88438'>Organizers also are asking supporters to wear the color red to show love and sacrifice.</span> <span data-start-time='88438' data-end-time='94917'>Some U.S. school districts have already canceled classes for Wednesday.</span> <span data-start-time='94917' data-end-time='106563'>Alexandria City Public Schools in Virginia said more than 300 staff members requested to take off work Wednesday.</span> <span data-start-time='106563' data-end-time='119833'>As they did with the women’s march, the organizers for the “A Day Without a Woman” strike have largely used social media to gain support and spread the word.</span> <span data-start-time='119833' data-end-time='126229'>But, some people on social media have been sharply critical of the protest.</span> <span data-start-time='126229' data-end-time='138458'>They say that, because many women cannot afford to take a day off work, the protest only includes those at a higher economic level.</span> <span data-start-time='138458' data-end-time='149000'>A writer for the Los Angeles Times describes Wednesday’s protest as “A Day Without a Privileged Woman.”</span> <span data-start-time='149000' data-end-time='157396'>“Privileged” means having special rights or conditions that most other people do not have.</span> <span data-start-time='157396' data-end-time='166271'>The organizers, however, have said that women who can protest will strike for those who cannot.</span> <span data-start-time='166271' data-end-time='180125'>“Many women in our most vulnerable communities will not have the ability to join the strike, due to economic insecurity,” organizers said on their website.</span> <span data-start-time='180125' data-end-time='182583'>“We strike for them.”</span> <span data-start-time='182583' data-end-time='189771'>Women in more than 50 countries around the world will also protest on March 8.</span> <span data-start-time='189771' data-end-time='194250'>The movement is part of the International Women’s Strike.</span> <span data-start-time='194250' data-end-time='200292'>They will be protesting violence against women and demanding equal rights.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky' style='display:none;'><div class='control-buttons'><button title='Back'
