The second year of Donald Trump’s presidency has begun much like his first: with hordes of people marching through the streets.

Thousands of people in cities across the United States have turned out for the second annual Women’s March, a reprise of the mass demonstrations that swept across the US after Trump’s inauguration.

Rallies in major cities including Chicago, New York, Washington D.C. and Los Angeles have reportedly attracted hundreds of thousands of people opposed to Trump’s policies and calling for respect and equal rights for women. More than 250 rallies are expected to take place across the United States, as well as overseas.
