Background

Content Summary:

Held on the 15th of March 2021, the March 4 Justice protests were a grass roots movement. Initiated in response to recent reporting regarding the alleged rape of political staffer Brittany Higgins at Parliament House and alleged historical rape allegations against then Attorney General Christian Porter, the protests were largely organised via social media. Janine Hendry is credited as sending the Tweet that started the movement (march4justice.org, The Guardian Australia).

Events were held in all capital cities and many urban centres with participants estimated in the tens of thousands (ABC, The Guardian Australia). Participants were encouraged to wear black. In Canberra the protest was held outside Parliament House and a petition was presented to parliamentarians.

This collection includes banners, placards, signage and objects from the Canberra protest. The majority of the material was created by the attendees.
