More than a hundred thousand protesters occupied the streets of U.S. cities for the second 'Women's March', marking the anniversary of Donald Trump’s Presidential inauguration in 2017.

Hailed as a new era of political activism, organisers of the march said they were hoping to keep up the momentum from last year's anti-Trump march, which was one of the biggest mass protests in U.S. history.

Using the theme 'Power to the Polls', organisers hoped to register a million new voters and get more strong advocates for women's rights in office.
