Hundreds of young survivors of sexual assault and their supporters gathered at Town Hall today. The group marched to Circular Quay demanding “no sexist parliament” and “no sexist schools.”
The rally was organised by Youth Survivors for Justice and chaired by Chloe and Erin, two of its members. The event follows on from a range of actions around consent and sexual assault since Brittany Higgins spoke out in March, and Chanel Contos’s viral petition. The chairs provided an emphasis on the need to fully fund women’s services, improve consent education and provide economic safety for women in the lead up to the release of the Federal budget next week.
