7NEWS Australia published this video item, entitled “March 4 Justice: Brittany Higgins makes surprise appearance at Canberra rally | 7NEWS” – below is their description.

Brittany Higgins has made a surprise appearance at the #March4Justice in Canberra, speaking publicly for the first time since she came forward with a rape allegation against a male colleague in Parliament House.

“I encourage each and every one of you to set boundaries for yourself and be ruthless in your defence of them. Speak up, share your truth and know that you have a generation of women ready, willing and able to support you. Take ownership of your story and free yourself from the stigma of shame. Together we can bring about real meaningful reform to the workplace culture inside Parliament House and hopefully every workplace to ensure the next generation of women can benefit from a safer, more equitable Australia.”
