People opposing the policies of US President-elect Donald Trump gathered in Washington to stage a large-scale protest march and rally on Saturday, two days before his inauguration.

Trump, a Republican, is poised to make drastic changes to the policies of outgoing President Joe Biden, stirring concerns among liberal-leaning Democratic Party supporters.

The protesters marched through the city center, advocating anti-climate change measures, women's abortion right and rights for immigrants and sexual minorities.

A female participant said she is deeply concerned that Trump and his policies pose threats to her and people dear to her.
A man said he cares about transgender rights and gender equality, and hopes that everybody can lead a safe and equitable life.
