Thousands of women streaming into Treasury Gardens on Monday to March 4 Justice were met with the names of 899 women and children.

Those names — of women and children killed by male violence in Australia since 2008 — were written onto a fabric scroll that stretched the length of the podium where former Liberal MP Julia Banks and former Victorian Green Huong Truong led chants to a crowd of about 10,000 people.
