Thousands rally against gender-based violence

  • On Saturday, tens of thousands of people gathered across major Australian capitals and regional areas to call for stronger measures against gender-based violence.
  • The rallies followed a federal election campaign where advocates said gendered and sexual violence received insufficient attention and urged more male accountability.
  • Organisers and speakers called for expanded funding to frontline services, crisis accommodation, trauma-informed first responder training, bail law reform, and consistent consent laws nationwide.
  • Sarah Williams highlighted that addressing violence against women requires male involvement and leadership, stressing the importance of having more positive male role models to help prevent such violence, which she identified as predominantly caused by men.
  • The rallies highlighted urgent systemic reform needs, including a national domestic violence register and proactive prevention, as deaths of 128 women since January 2024 were publicly mourned.
