Thousands of people rallied in Sydney, the nation’s most populous city, Hobart and Adelaide on Saturday, with more marches planned for Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane and Canberra on Sunday, according to the national broadcaster ABC.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced on social media he will join the march in the national capital on Sunday because “a woman has been killed every four days this year”.
“Violence against women is an epidemic, we have to do better. Governments have to do better, and we have to do better as a society. Tomorrow I will be marching with the women of our nation to say enough is enough,” he said.
A woman has been killed every four days so far this year.

The rallies follow the fatal stabbing of six people, including five women, in a Sydney shopping mall by a man.
Sarah Williams, from the group organising the “What were you wearing?” marches, told the ABC “Australia is in a national emergency of male violence”.
Violence against women has been a major issue in Australia in recent years, with tens of thousands of people marching in 2021 over the alleged rape of a political staffer in Parliament House in Canberra.
