BOLDUAN: It is International Women's Day, a day to celebrate and honor the contributions of women around the country, around the world, and also promote equality. On this Women's Day, some demonstrators are raising awareness of equality in the workplace. Earlier, President Trump tweeted his support for women in the United States and around the world but some of the demonstrations today are aimed directly at him and his policies. Athena Jones is in Washington where one of those demonstrations and marches is taking place. Athena, what's going on there?</s>ATHENA JONES, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hi, Kate. This march just under way, we're almost to the White House. This is one of several demonstrations, as you mentioned, around the world marking International Women's Day. This particular gathering was organized by 40 organizations from the U.S. and around the world. They're here to protest the Mexico City policy, also known as the Global Gag Rule. That is a rule that the president, President Trump, reinstated in his first days in office. That rule says that any organization around the world that gets U.S. funding, U.S. dollars, aid of any sort, cannot provide abortions, cannot refer women for abortions, cannot even mention abortions as part of their family planning. So that is why you have this group out here making -- carrying signs, "Stop the Global Gag Rule," chants like, "When abortion rights are under attack, what do we do, stand up, fight back." They're headed to the White House where they'll have several speakers over the next hour or so -- Kate?</s>BOLDUAN: Athena, thanks so much. I know it's loud so I'll let you go. You have protests around the country and rallies around the world as well. Athena, thank you so much. Coming up for us, President Trump invoking Nixon and Watergate in his claim that President Obama ordered a wiretap on his phone. Coming up, a man who was at the center of Watergate. What does he think about the president's allegations? That's next.
