WOMEN’S marches were held in more than 20 towns and cities across Britain over the weekend ahead of Donald Trump’s second inauguration as United States president.

The protests were organised by UK Women’s March, which was formed in November to campaign against misogyny, advocate for women’s rights and “ensure that all women, regardless of their background, have their voices heard and rights respected.”

Protesters gathered in London, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Bournemouth, Liverpool, Brighton, Cambridge, Canterbury, Exeter, Glasgow, Leeds, Lincoln, Manchester, Middlesbrough, Newcastle, Northampton, Nottingham, Plymouth, Sheffield and Belfast on Saturday.
