A rally will be held after three women were allegedly murdered by men in Ballarat since February.
A community will stand in solidarity against male violence after three local women were allegedly killed by men. Women in a Victorian community rocked by three recent killings are demanding an end to male violence. The Ballarat region's Samantha Murphy, Rebecca Young and Hannah McGuire have allegedly died at the hands of men since the beginning of February.
" One in four Australian women and roughly one in 14 men have been subjected to physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner since age 15, Australian Bureau of Statistics data shows. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, women who temporarily separate from abusive partners often face continued or increased violence. Austin said the three killings in a little over two months had stunned the community.
