The Australian Gender Equality Council (AGEC) today calls on the Prime Minister, National Cabinet and every elected Member of Parliament to take decisive action to end gendered violence and promote gender equality across Australia. AGEC supports the many women, girls, men and boys who yesterday marched in the multiple March4Justice events that took place across Australia. Chair of AGEC, Ms Coral Ross said all people must be respected and be safe from the threat of violence and sexual harassment.
“We at AGEC, and our members, are very disappointed that here we are, one year on from the last March4Justice, with little to no change – despite submissions, a National Women’s Summit and a report handed down from a Human Rights Commission Inquiry,” Ms Ross said.
