For too long the patriarchy has tried to silence us. This International Women’s Day we won’t be silent. This International Women’s Day we’re speaking out and using our voices for justice, safety, respect and equality for all women.
Join us as we rally through Melbourne together on Thursday 7 March at 5.30pm and demand real action. What won't you be silent about? What action do you want to see?
We welcome and encourage all women, cis and trans, non-binary and gender diverse folks of all age, size, colour, race, sexuality, identity, religion and culture and our allies and comrades to attend the rally.
