People of all genders, ages and backgrounds took to the streets in cities around the world over the weekend, on the one-year anniversary of the first Women’s Marches and Donald Trump’s inauguration as US president.

But if Trump was the focus of much of the anger at the marches in 2017, this time around everyone was talking about the Time’s Up and #MeToo movements. Thousands of people braved the rain and snow in London to march to Downing Street, with speakers including Stylist cover star Reni Eddo-Lodge and Labour MP Stella Creasy.

The weather was markedly brighter at the Women’s March in Los Angeles, where an estimated 500,000 people watched Scarlett Johansson call out James Franco – who has been accused of sexual misconduct by five women – for wearing a Time’s Up pin while “privately preying on people who have no power”. Viola Davis cited Malcolm X and Martin Luther King in her barnstorming speech, while Natalie Portman spoke about being a victim of “sexual terrorism” as a young teenager in Hollywood.
