Hundreds of people flooded the streets of Newcastle on Saturday as part of a large-scale protest against a new police and crime bill.
Protesters gathered at Monument waving banners, placards and chanting, to show their opposition to the bill, sexual harassment and racism.
A number of speeches took place with speakers sharing their experiences of abuse before protesters marched along Percy Street and to the Civic Centre.
The group could be heard shouting "Kill the Bill" and "Whose streets? Our Streets" as they marched through the city.
The controversial police bill would give the Home Secretary increased powers to stop protests, and those convicted under the proposed legislation could face a fine or jail.
Jon Deery, 20, a student, said he attended the rally to protest against the police powers.
He said: "I'm here as a young person who wants to be able to protest throughout the rest of my future because there are so many things that we need to protest about.
"Democracy is currently in a crisis and what we need more than anything is more democratic means to have our voices heard.
"I'm here to stop us from being silenced and to prevent myself from being silenced throughout the rest of my life."
The demonstration was seen to be observed peacefully with police keeping their distance throughout the rally.
By around 4pm the rally had come to a close with protesters leaving the Monument area.
Northumbria Police later confirmed on Saturday evening that no arrests were made.
It was one of a co-ordinated series of protests taking place in cities throughout the country as part of a national weekend of action.
The protest came just two weeks after hundreds turned out for the Reclaim the Streets demonstration in Newcastle.
Protests in England are now once again permitted under new coronavirus laws which came into force on March 29.
