The second Women's March took place this Saturday with celebrations and demonstrations carrying well on over to the next day too. Over 250 different rallies were held across American cities including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Washington, where the March first kicked off following the inauguration of president
Donald Trump this time last year. But this year, more and more cities around the world got involved too.
From marches held in London and Munich, all the way to Melbourne and Osaka, people came together to make a stand against sexual harassment and abuse (a hot topic of late), gender equality and some of
Trump's more... er, questionable policies and outbursts. The energy was high, celebrities including
Scarlett Johansson,
Adele and Jennifer Lawrence took part, and a huge effort was made to encourage people to enrol to vote in the midterm elections.
While the monumental participation in the march this year across America and around the world is certainly something to behold, we mustn't forget to zoom in and take a close look at the individuals who took part and see what crafty home-made signs they came up with here. Here are 19 of the best.
