So that's where we might leave it for today.

We have had tens of thousands of people turn out for hundreds of events, everywhere from Parliament House in Canberra to the tiny town of Talbot.

Farima Forooziya, 42, was one of thousands who attended today's rally in Adelaide's Victoria Square along with her 11 and 2-year-old daughters.

I'm a survivor of sexual assault. I survived when I was 11 and now my daughter is 11," Farima said.

The last few weeks have been so traumatising for survivors. My daughter asked me what can she do about it? So we had a big chat about consent. She had heard the words toxic masculinity" and wanted to know what it meant, so we talked about that. It was amazing how well she understood consent even though she is so young."

I'm very happy for her to miss school today to be a part of this. I think this is an important experience for her to learn she has a voice. I certainly was not expecting this crowd. I was blown away. I think the organisers were a little late in putting the information on Facebook and that this many people still came is incredible.

It says a lot. It says enough is enough. That we need to be heard.
