Donald Trump’s inauguration has left the world divided. While his supporters toss their "Make America Great Again" hats into the air in celebration, his critics take to the streets to protest against him.

Many of those protesting against the newly sworn in President are women. In 60 countries and on seven continents across the world, women are preparing to march against the President on Saturday.

They will be taking to the streets to promote equal rights for women and defend marginalised groups.

From the southern states of America to the Antarctic, Beirut, Nairobi, La Paz, Tokyo, Congo, Barcelona, Kolkata, Rio de Janerio, Belgrade, Reykjavík, Brussels, Liverpool, and many other destinations far and wide, they will be turning their anger at Mr Trump into action. An estimated 616 sister marches are taking place worldwide with a combined total of two million marchers expected to attend.

In London, more than 14 thousand people have signed up to attend the Women’s March and in Washington 220 thousand have signed up.

“From the very beginning, it has been our aim to bring groups together in order to create a unified force that fights for the rights of the most marginalised and disadvantaged,” Beth Garner, one of the march’s organisers, told The Independent.

Garner explained the global Women’s March organisation is united by the core belief that “women’s rights are human rights and human rights are women’s rights.”

“Having this march take place in so many different countries is powerful and inspiring. The Women's March is showing the world that human rights will be demanded across cultural, socioeconomic, and political lines.”

“We have been watching the live feeds come in from countries that are marching and I am with every single one of them in spirit. Where they march, I march and I know it will be the same for them when we all take to the streets of London in solidarity”.

The President has a record of making demeaning, sexist comments about women. This includes everything from boasting that when you are a star you can grab women “by the p***y” in a leaked 2005 tape to calling Rosie O’Donnell a “fat pig” to saying Megyn Kelly had “blood coming out of her wherever”.

It has been suggested that Mr Trump’s divisive and inflammatory rhetoric has unwittingly been an energising, unifying force for feminism worldwide.

In London, celebrity supporters of the march on social media include Frankie Boyle, Charlotte Church, Ian McKellen, Alexa Chung, Pixie Geldof, Bianca Jagger, June Sarpong and Hardeep Singh Kholi.

In the US, high-profile figures such as Scarlett Johansson, America Ferrera, Katy Perry, Uzo Aduba, Zendaya, and Cher are expected to attend.
