Australian PM describes domestic violence as a ‘national crisis’
AUSTRALIA’S Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described domestic violence as a “national crisis” today after thousands took to the streets around the country against violence toward women.
Thousands protested in cities around Australia on Sunday to draw attention to the deaths of 27 women so far this year allegedly caused by acts of gender-based violence in a population of 27 million.
Mr Albanese said that the rallies were a call to action for all levels of Australian government to do more to prevent gender-based violence.
