Organisers of today's March 4 Justice rally declared it a huge success after an estimated 600 people braved the inclement weather to demand justice and action against gendered violence and widespread change in workplaces and in our political and criminal justice systems.

Lismore Councillor and media spokesperson for the Lismore rally Elly Bird said "Organisers were thrilled with the turnout today. If it were a sunny day we would have had in excess of a thousand people participate."

"The numbers demonstrate that this is an issue that won't be going away any time soon," she added.

Lismore was just one city in a nationwide rally that is demanding change for actions of violence towards women that have been going on for far too long.

The Lismore action supports a National March in Canberra where a petition will be delivered calling on the Prime Minister to act on gendered violence against women, including female Members of Parliament and staff.

The Lismore rally presented their own petition to Member for page Kevin Hogan before marching through the streets of the CBD.

Today's March 4 Justice is calling for

1. Full independent investigations in all cases of gendered violence and misconduct of Members of Parliament and their staff and timely referrals to appropriate authorities. Full public transparency of findings.

2. No perpetrators as policy makers. Stand then down and create a safe and equal Australia, starting within our Houses of Parliament.

3. An independent review into the prevalence of gendered violence in Parliament to be conducted by the Federal Sex Discrimination Commissioner.

4. Strengthen the Sex Discrimination Act so that Parliamentarians and judges are no longer excluded from accountability.
