YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Yuma residents joined a Women's March Saturday afternoon.

The march, which started at Brownie's Restaurant at around 2:00pm, was to advocate for reproductive rights.

The organizer of the march, Julia Castillo-Spears, also shared what inspired her to host the march:

"I've always felt as though there was a lack of community involvement regarding women's voices here in Yuma. And I was inspired by the recent election. But this march is much more than about politics. It's about celebration of women as a whole, as well as acknowledging the ongoing fight worldwide for women's rights."

The march ended in Downtown Yuma at around 3:00pm.
