Hundreds of thousands of women and male supporters took to the streets of cities around the world for a series of Women's March protests to mark the first anniversary of Donald Trump's inauguration. Marches were held in many US cities, as well as London, Paris, Rome and Berlin, capping off a weekend of global demonstrations that participants hope will continue building momentum for equality, justice and an end to sexual harassment.
