A year on from Donald Trump's inauguration women has taken to the streets once again, as a follow up to last year's Women's March.
Proving that this women's equality movement here to stay, thousands of women turned out to voice their displeasure with the current administration in Washington D.C. and just like in last year's anti-Trump protest, they have made some hilariously creative and clever protest signs.
It has been a tough year for many of these protesters, who have seen attacks on their reproductive rights, the rise of far-right movements and an immigration reform that is dividing families as well as the nation as a whole.
Despite this, the gender equality protests took place peacefully and with optimism and good humor that bodes well for future female activism. With more women now signing up for office than ever, and the rise of movements like the 'Me Too' campaign highlighting the insidious mistreatment of women by powerful men in Hollywood, it seems that women's voices are being heard in the fight for a fairer, more equal rights. Especially when the displeasure is delivered with the help of passive-aggressive, yet hilariously funny posters.
Scroll down to check out some of the wittiest, most creative and funny signs from the march. Let us know what you think in the comments, and don't forget to vote for your favorite!
Donald Trump tweeted out his support for the march, despite the fact that many of the protests were directed squarely at him

Yup. How dare he think Norwegians, (who are pretty civilised and educated and caring of the poor, and democratic (google) probably at the moment one of the best countries to be born into) would want a compliment from the prick Trump? Sorry about the whole paragraph in brackets, i got carried away by my annoyance.
Afraid that for there to be gun sense in America, Our lawmakers would have to have Common Sense.
Where Pankhurst started. It has never stopped. I'm 62 and still pushing. Could write a bloody novel, same as most women of my generation. Sad thing is that even after 'equality' laws, women the generations following me are still fighting for the same rights. Believe me ladies, it is happening, but much more slowly than we would like. keep it up. All of you. It's important !!!!!!
Excellent! More people need to realize that "government by the people" is how you get "government for the people". There's nothing special about people who hold political offices. They're often the more bold personality types (and often, power-hungry types), but that says nothing about qualifications. People need to stop presuming that they can't do any better than "the guy already in office". We need people who are motivated to serve the public; to do the work, for the right reasons. Not people motivated by the desire for attention, power, influence...
Yes--Let's get out and Vote! And volunteer to help others register to vote and get to the polls.
AND Mike Pence, he is certainly very bad and depending on how you look at it, worse (his stance on gays, trans people and such.)
I think it was Mother Theresa who said, "I won't march against war, but I WILL march for peace".
OOOOH WHO ARE YOU WHO ARE YOU WHO ARE YOU? WHO'S THIS KID WHAT'S HE GONNA DO? (Love the sign, too, just could't resist singing.)
