Melbourne History: Protesting the Vietnam War

During the Vietnam War, a huge national protest movement grew around the conscription of young Australians ordered to fight in the contentious war.

In Victoria, many women were at the forefront of the historic protest movement. These brave women are the focus of the award-winning podcast Women, Conscription, War.
