Thousands of people braved cold and snowy conditions on Saturday to participate in the fourth annual Philadelphia Women's March. 

People began marching up the Benjamin Franklin Parkway around 10 a.m., concluding at Eakins Oval, where several people addressed the crowd. People of all ages came out, with many in the crowd carrying signs supporting women's rights. 

The first women's march was held in January 2017, in the wake of President Donald Trump's election. At the time, many in the crowd donned pink hats in protest of Trump saying he kisses and grabs women without their permission. 

The annual event also has coincided with the #MeToo movement and a larger focus on feminism.
