Australia’s prime minister, Anthony Albanese, has said that domestic violence is a big problem in Australia. Many people protested against violence towards women.
Thousands of people in Australia protested on Sunday to show that 27 women have died from gender-based violence this year. The country has a population of 27 million.
Albanese said on Monday that the rallies were a way to ask the Australian government to do more to stop violence against women.
“We definitely need to do more. ” Albanese said on Nine Network TV that it’s not enough to just understand how someone else feels.
“The truth that. ” On average, a woman is killed by her partner every four days. This is a big problem for our country.
17 events happened in Australia on the weekend. About 15,000 people gathered in Melbourne for one of the rallies.
Albanese plans to hold a meeting with leaders from Australian states and territories on Wednesday to talk about working together on a response.
Albanese, along with Women’s Minister Katy Gallagher and Social Services Minister Amanda Rishworth, were not welcomed at a rally they attended in Canberra on Sunday.
The people who are protesting shouted at the leaders of the government, “We want you to do something” and “Do your work. ”
Albanese said we should pay more attention to the people who commit violence and how to stop violence from happening. Albanese said we have to change the way people think and the laws.

Man beats girlfriend after she accuses him of cheating
On Wednesday, an unidentified man residing at Kwashiman in Accra, physically abused his girlfriend after she accused him of cheating.
In a video circulated on social media, the victim narrated her ordeal while seated on the ground sobbing.
She stated that every time she visited her boyfriend, she met a constant face that made her question whether her boyfriend was being unfaithful. No longer able to bear the suspicious behaviour of her boyfriend, she confronted him.
“He always claims I have been cheating on him, but I have come to meet this same lady here in his house three times. I complained about this and then he pounced on me. He beat me. The lady is still in the room,” the victim told some individuals who were concerned about her wellbeing.

“When we asked you, you told us that you were just quarreling. That she hit you and you also retaliated, but you were not telling us the truth,” they said.
While being interrogated, the accused tried to console his girlfriend by wiping her tears while washing her face with water. He stated that his actions were not deliberate.
Section 3 of the Domestic Violence Act, 2007, states that a person in a domestic relationship who engages in domestic violence “commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine of not more than five hundred penalty units or to a term of imprisonment of not more than two years
or to both.”“The Court may in addition to imposing a fine or a prison term, order the offender in a case of domestic violence to pay compensation to the victim as the
Court may determine,” the law adds.
