About 500 people gathered on Courtenay Place Wellington tonight to rally for a city free from sexual violence.
For nearly a year, there has been a growing conversation around how unsafe the capital is, with a reported rise in serious violence dating back to August. And a discussion over the threat of sexual violence specifically, has ramped up in recent months.
