Australian PM Says Violence Against Women A "National Crisis"

So far this year, 28 women have been killed in the country -- an average of one death every four days.

Australia's prime minister on Wednesday declared violence against women a "scourge" and a "national crisis", days after protests in several major cities.

Meeting state premiers, Anthony Albanese announced a raft of measures and funding to tackle "toxic male extremist views", curb deep fake pornography and fund help for victims.

Albanese told Australians that "we all have to take responsibility" for stamping out violence.
