On our 1 year anniversary, January 21st 2018, Women's March Sydney is inviting everyone who believes in equality, safety, and respect to join us in creating a human chain of individuals linking hands through communities all across Australia. Our human chain will be a show of strength and solidarity. Our chain will stand as a statement that we are tired of being demeaned, bullied, and violated. Our chain will say no to the ongoing harassment and violence. Our chain will show that together we are unbroken.
Our chain will start in Hyde Park South, on January 21st 2018 at 11am.
The event will feature speakers and performers that will be announced over the coming weeks.

2017 has been undoubtedly challenging. It has also been a year of strength, defiance and exposure. People around the globe have found inspiration and courage to stand up and speak out against inequality and injustice in unprecedented numbers.
This watershed has resulted in a widespread outing of media moguls, politicians, entertainers, and businessmen finally facing exposure for their predatory misogyny and harassment of women in the workplace. Galvanised by one another's courage, women are coming forward to demand accountability for perpetrators and the institutions that have protected them for years.
This is a powerful moment for Women's Rights. Women are demanding respect, dignity, and equality. No woman should have to suffer violation or humiliation in their workplace, community, or home. All women deserve to be safe and to have access to equal opportunities and the same protections as men.
Enough is enough. The misogyny, harassment, and violence must stop.

Women’s March Sydney is an inclusive organisation. Our events are always open and welcome to all. We encourage everyone to come and take a stand against harassment and assault.
