Photographer's Comment: Photographer Comment: I live in New Zealand and in the passed week we have had shocking news of child abuse. The news has really disgusted the people of our small nation. This is a shot i took of some people who hit the streets to show they want the abuse of innocent children to stop! .

But there is a bit more to this story that didn't give me the opportunity to get an angry action shot. It wasn't that type on protest. They had asked people to stop whatever they were doing and stand in silents for three minutes on that day.So it was alway going to be a bit staticy. Thanks Gail
