About 100,000 people joined women's marches in London, Washington and Asia on Saturday as part of protests held around major cities in the world against US President Donald Trump.

According to organisers on it's website, an estimated 100,000 people stormed central London on Saturday while 200,000 people gathered for a rally outside the US Capitol building where Trump's inauguration was held on Friday.

Organizers also said about 670 marches were planned worldwide with more than two million marchers expected to take part. 
 
Protesters were seen waving banners with slogans like "Special relationship, just say no" and "Nasty women unite"  while several others wore pink "pussy" hats, and carried banners with the caption: "this pussy bites back" in reference to a 2005 tape in which Trump spoke of women in a demeaning way.
