A group of local ladies come together in Fayetteville to march for women's rights.

Unite Against the War on Women rallies were held across the country Saturday.

Two friends started the movement in February, and formed Unitewomen.org.

The women marching Saturday say they want to send a message to lawmakers, that every person be granted equal opportunities, rights and representation.

"One woman alone can't do it, a small group can't do it, but we need everyone educated on women's rights issue," said Kelly Eubanks, state organizer for Unitewomen.org.

The rally started in front of the Walton Arts Center and then traveled to the Fayetteville Square.

There was also a rally at the Capitol building in Little Rock.
