Tens of thousands of women staged protests across Australia this week under the banner “March 4 Justice” triggered by several sexual assault allegations against men in the country’s halls of power. The revelations began a month ago when 26-year-old Brittany Higgins alleged she was raped by a male colleague inside a minister’s office. Since then, the country’s attorney general has been accused of raping a woman in 1988, and more female staffers are reported to have shared their experiences of a “toxic work culture” inside Australia’s Parliament House. |
