CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Monday described domestic violence as a “national crisis” after thousands rallied 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. Albanese said on Monday the rallies were a call to action for all levels of Australian government to do more to prevent gender-based violence. “Quite clearly, we need to do more. It’s not enough to just have empathy,” Albanese told Nine Network television. “The fact that ... a woman dies every four days on average at the hand of a partner is just a national crisis,” he added. |
