Rally Against Femicide

Today, a small but passionate group demonstrated against femicide in Australia. The rally took place outside Sydney Town Hall, Gadigal Land.

More women were murdered last year in Australia since records began, with 78 women killed in gender-based violence im 2024. This number is only two fewer than the amount of women murdered in the United Kingdom in the same period, a country with a population almost three times as great as Australia.

Australian Femicide Watch claim these figures are under-quoted, and the true number of women killed in gender-based violence in Australia is actually 101.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are disproportionately represented in these numbers.

Rally Against Islamophobic Attack

Photographs from this morning’s rally at Bankstown police Station, in south west Sydney, Darug Land.

Last week, Mariam, a Palestinian woman, and her young daughter were verbally attacked and threatened with physical harm in an Islamophobic attack at KMart in Bankstown shopping centre. The attack was recorded on social media. Mariam has claimed that she called police, who failed to respond, and instead started harassing her family and acquaintances.

This morning’s rally was held to support Mariam and demand that police take immediate and appropriate action. Speakers brought attention to the differences of how authorities and main stream media respond to Islamophobic incidents in comparison to anti-Semetic and anti-Zionist incidents.

After the rally, Mariam went into the police station to lodge an official complaint.

Hikoi mo te Tiriti on Gadigal Land

Yesterday, hundreds of people marched through Sydney’s city centre on Gadigal Land as part of the Toitū Te Tiriti (Honour the Treaty), a movement sweeping through Aotearoa, protesting against the controversial Treaty Principles Bill, a piece of legislation being brought before New Zealand’s parliament that attempts to undermine the Treaty of Waitangi. The treaty is the foundation document of relations between Māori and Pākehā (non-Māori) people.

Since the 10th of November, thousands of people have been marching as part of the Hikoi mo te Tiriti (March for the Treaty) from the north of Aotearoa, aiming to descend on New Zealand’s Parliament in Wellington on the 19th of November to protest the Bill.

Yesterday’s Hikoi mo te Tiriti in Sydney on Gadigal Land started at Martin Place before marching to the New Zealand Consulate-General in Bond Street, where speeches were made and hakas performed. The hikoi then moved to Hyde Park.
