Communities across the country continue to reel from increasing rates of gender-based violence.

Twenty-six women from Australia have lost their lives due to family and domestic violence since the start of 2024. These are the latest figures from Counting Dead Women Australia and Destroy The Joint.

No More: National Rally Against Violence will run across the nation from Friday to Sunday, calling for our government to declare gender-based violence a national emergency.
