The rally was held on the second anniversary of Ashling Murphy’s murder in County Offaly in January 2022 and was in response to the reported sexual assault in Derry on New Year’s Eve. The vigil was organised by Alliance for Choice Derry to show solidarity to all victims and survivors of sexual violence.
