Does this photo really show women gathered to scream “through their vaginas” at President Donald Trump?

For a few days now, a photo has been shared on Facebook that allegedly shows women “screaming” at US President Donald Trump. So not just with sound waves, but somehow through their vaginas. The women have lifted their skirts and are pictured in screaming poses.

The status message was originally written in English, but was automatically translated by Facebook for German-speaking users. One reads accordingly:

No joke.

They gathered to scream at Trump through their vaginas.

These are the people who control the government and want to teach your children.

Of course (as befits a good bullshit claim) no sources or further information were provided to support the claim. However, as always, the reverse image search helps here and shows that the image has been in circulation since February 2016, long before the election of President Donald Trump.

By the way, our colleagues at Snopes have already thought about the probable origin and contextually assigned the image to the skirt-raising (“skirt-raising”) from September 2015. They quote from an article from Dazeddigital.com , which however does not contain this image:

“Raising the Skirt” by artist Nicola Canavan is exploring [women's relationships with their genitals] in her series of portraits of everyday women, as they share the beauty of their bodies, while exploring their relationships with their vaginas and what they symbolize to them.

It describes Nicola Canavan's photo series and also tells you that Canavan's work was not a “feminist trend” in this sense, but a photo project. Snopes contacted Canavan, who then confirmed that this was one of her images. (Compare: Snopes – Is This a Photograph of Women 'Screaming Through Their Vaginas' to Protest the President? ¹)
