Chris Smith from the Mountains Men against Violence said men needed to “care more” about violence against women.
Community organiser Jude Finch called on the Blue Mountains Council to make the local government area “a safe place for women, for all genders, for all people” and to erect “No to Violence” signs. She said the New South Wales government must commit to the NSW Women’s Alliance’s nine-point plan to address sexual violence.
Finch said the government needed to address police discrimination by failing to provide safety and justice for women and training to ensure they respond as they should under the law.
A Blue Mountains Women’s Health and Resource Centre rally opposing violence against women brought together hundreds of members of the sex and gender diverse community. Rachel Evans reports.

This is the same government that could only manage an additional $25 per week for JobSeekers. They are without shame.
