Victims and their supporters made their voices heard in the fight against sexual abuse during a march on Sturt Street on Sunday afternoon.
Two years two the day after the Loud Fence movement first took to Ballarat’s streets, community members returned to make a stand and keep the issue at the forefront of public debate.
Loud Fence started during the Royal Commission into child sex abuse by the Catholic clergy in the Ballarat.
Its message was about giving support to victims so they felt comfortable enough to come forward and talk about their experience.
The Royal Commission has finished hearing from victims and maintaining support for them remains a key issue for Loud Fence members.
