No More rally at Newcastle Museum

 BY JOHN THOMAS

Today (Friday 26 April, 2024) outside Newcastle Museum a rally is being held as part of a national protest is calling on politicians to take action on violence against women.

29 Women have already died at the hands of men this year, and with the recent events of Bondi Junction still in public memory, organizations and activists across Australia have united to say 'No More'.

This national event created by What You Were Wearing Australia CEO Sarah Williams says "Enough is enough and it has been for a long time. We need more action from politicians, and we need them to take these crimes more seriously. In 2012, two men were killed and it triggered a whole new law", she said.

The rally starts at 6.00pm.
