An organiser is seen behind a banner showing an already outdated figure of 81 women and children murdered, usually by men they knew knew, this year. 85 pairs of red shoes were placed on the steps of Treasury Place in honour and memory of these victims. In the immediate wake of three murders of young women from Melbourne, and eighty-five murders of women in Australia in 2024, an estimated 3,000+ people marched though the city centre calling for an end to domestic abuse and femicide. Most donned orange clothes; the colour of the anti-family-violence organisation, Respect Victoria, who organised the event. Melbourne Australia - ZUMAs197 20241122_aaa_s197_039
