Sydney march against sexist violence

Saturday, November 4, 2006 - 11:00

Three-hundred people participated in the Sydney Reclaim the Night march this year. Speakers included Karen Willis from the Rape Crisis Centre, Jane Brock from Immigrant Women Speak Out and Tegan Wagner, an 18-year-old survivor of a 2002 sexual assault by two men who were sentenced in April this year.

The rally called for increased funding for women's services, including $250,000 in immediate funding for the NSW Rape Crisis Centre.
