Bendigo Community Health Services supports this weekend’s nationwide March4Justice2.

#March4Justice is a respectful gathering to send a strong message to the nation's leaders that now is the time for action to put an end to sexism, misogyny and dangerous workplace cultures.

It is long past the time for change.

The first march saw thousands gather across the country last year, amplifying women’s voices and providing a platform for them to share their collective experiences.

This year’s event is calling for:

• All women to be safe in Australia
• Women to be safe at work and at home
• Real action to end gendered violence and promote gender equality
• Criminal justice reform

BCHS is a committed member of the Greater Bendigo Coalition for Gender Equity.

Like March4Justice, our organisation stands in solidarity with all who fight for equality, justice, respect and an end to gendered violence.

We share their vision, which is:

Together we strive to transform social attitudes so that every person is safe in their homes, their communities and their workplaces; amplify the voices of women in Australia; support safe and fair workplace practices for women; and advocate for systemic change that encourages a society that is built upon equality.

BCHS encourages people to attend the Bendigo March4Justice this weekend.
