Fifty-four women have been murdered in family and domestic violence incidents in Australia so far in 2024. Hundreds of people rallied last Sunday on Gadigal Land to demand a greater response and accountability from government and men to bring a halt to this femicide. The march was part of a nationwide protest organised by What Were You Wearing.
Protesters gathered at Hyde Park and marched to Town Hall Square, where speeches were made urging action. Speakers included Wiradjuri woman and City of Sydney Councillor, Yvonne Weldon , Rhiannon and Anna Meek from What Were You Wearing, Mehreen Faruqi from The Greens, Dunghutti woman, Ashley Donahue from Mudgin-gal, Katia Schwartz from Scarlet Alliance, Sarah Brown from She Is Not Your Rehab, Sarah Rosenberg from With You We Can and Hala Abdelnour from The Institute of Non-Violence.
