Donald Trump mask

A Donald Trump mask. A plastic mask of US President Donald Trump, used in the #Resistgag demonstration. Those who participated in the demonstration dressed up as pregnant Donald Trumps and gagged women. The pregnant Trumps’ outfits included a Trump mask, a large pink t-shirt, a fake pregnancy belly tied under the shirt, a blue scarf tied around the neck and a dark bottom.

In January 2017, US President Donald Trump signed a decree that stopped funding for organisations that provide information and services related to legal abortion. Similar decrees have previously been enacted in the United States, but Trump’s decree goes beyond the previous ones. In addition to US family planning organisations, international organisations are also affected. The decree has been referred to as the Global Gag Rule because the end of funding makes the work of health professionals more difficult. The Gag Rule affects the health of millions of disadvantaged girls and women worldwide, as organisations and clinics that have lost their funding also provide other types of health services for women.
