Thousands Rally for Stricter Laws Against Gender-Based Violence in Australia

Protests against gender-based violence have been held in major cities across Australia, with thousands of people attending rallies calling for stricter laws. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced that one woman has been killed every four days this year due to violence against women, which has sparked outrage and demands for change.

Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young called for a national emergency response to tackle the problem, emphasizing the need for action rather than empty promises. The government has reported that ongoing efforts to address issues of sexual abuse and misconduct in high political offices are part of the urgent need for action and prevention measures.

Protesters gathered in Sydney and other cities, carrying signs reading “Respect” and “No more violence,” demanding tougher criminal laws to address the issue. Similar protests are scheduled in other capitals like Perth, Melbourne, Hobart, and Brisbane over the weekend.

Prime Minister Albanese announced his intention to attend a rally in Canberra in solidarity with women across Australia, stating that enough is enough and that the country needs to do better in addressing violence against women. The urgent need for action has mobilized communities to come together and demand change in tackling this pervasive issue.
