After Trump's 2017 election, millions of US citizens joined the Women's March and protested against the US president. Now mostly young women have taken to the streets again.

Thousands of people in the US have taken part in protests against President Donald Trump and for women's rights.

Young women in particular joined the demonstrations that took place in various cities across the country.

The protests were inspired by the first Women's March after Trump's inauguration in 2017, when more than three million people took part.

This time, however, significantly fewer came because of the corona pandemic.

Rachel O'Leary Carmona, chairwoman of the Women's March, said Trump's presidency began with women protesting, "now it will end with women's votes."

Protesters remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Many participants again wore the symbol of the Women's March, the so-called pussy hat - in reference to Trump's statement that he could grab women in the crotch at any time.

Others wore white collars.

A reference to the late left-liberal Supreme Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Trump wants to occupy the Ginsburg seat with the conservative Amy Coney Barrett before the presidential election on November 3 in the Supreme Court.
