Rallies across Australia call for an end to violence against women

Published
Rallies have been held across the country calling for an end to violence against women. They were honouring 117 women killed by men since January last year. The message from the 'She Matters' rallies was also aimed at the nation's political leaders to strengthen policies to protect women and children.
