Dozens of demonstrators dressed as characters from the novel-turned-TV series The Handmaid's Tale have descended in Philadelphia to protest a visit by US Vice President Mike Pence.
The protesters wore red cloaks and white bonnets and chanted "this nightmare must end."
The Handmaid's Tale imagines a future in which women's rights have been stripped away. Protesters said they are opposed to Trump administration policies on abortion rights, LGBT rights, immigration and other issues.
