Images from today’s International Women’s Day rally in Sydney, Gadigal. A large contingent of Latin American women were present as around 600 people marched from Hyde Park to Belmore Park.
The march comes at time where there has been increasing scrutiny over gender-based violence against women.
In Australia, more than 1 woman every week is murdered by their male partners, with domestic violence currently at unprecedented levels.
One in six women have experienced sexual abuse by current or cohabitating partners.
Women earn almost 15% less than their male counterparts.
Meanwhile, more and more cuts are being made to women services, including housing for women and women shelters.
