Aussie Women March Against Sexual Violence!

Published March 17th, 2021 - 08:14 GMT

Tens of thousands of women have came out across Australia's streets to protest sexual violence and gender inequality on Monday. The anger grew after rape allegations that have convulsed the conservative government.

Protests called the #March4Justice rallies were organized in over 40 cities and towns, with a major demonstration in Canberra following allegations of sexual assault in the nation's parliament.

Most protesters have came out dressing in black, the crowd gathered outside Parliament House holding aloft placards with slogans including "You're Not Listening", "How Many Victims Do You Know?" and "I Believe Her".
