This week on the Five Minute Advocate Eva Cox reflects on the impactful events of this past weekend when around the country thousands gathered to end men’s violence against women, calling upon the government to declare this epidemic a national emergency. As a long standing and prominent figure in the feminist movement, Eva reflects on the current state we find ourselves in - questioning why, after years of advocacy, women are still facing such extreme violence and discrimination. Eva calls for continued action, urging women to continue to band together and fight to achieve true and genuine equality.
