The Armenian-Australian, Assyrian-Australian and Greek-Australian communities will #MarchForJustice in Sydney and Melbourne on Sunday 24th April 2022, calling on Australia’s Prime Minister and Government to accurately characterise the 1915 massacres suffered by their ancestors as Genocide, reported the Armenian National Committee of Australia (ANC-AU).

The Sydney #MarchForJustice, which typically attracts thousands of marchers, will begin at Hyde Park, near St Mary’s Cathedral at 3pm (AEST).

The procession will be led by the Homenetmen Australia Scouts and Marching band, religious and community leaders, as well as political representatives, who will march through Sydney’s Central Business District before settling at Sydney Town Hall for a short program featuring cultural performances and speeches.

The Melbourne #MarchForJustice will follow a similar format, starting at 2pm (AEST) at Parliament Square, before concluding with a special program at the Victorian State Library.

Once again, the 2022 #MARCHFORJUSTICE will be held under the auspices of the Joint Justice Initiative, established in February 2020 by the peak public affairs bodies of the Armenian, Assyrian and Greek communities in Australia––the Armenian National Committee of Australia, the Assyrian National Council Australia and the Australian Hellenic Council––as well as the Armenian Genocide Commemorative Committee.
