Melbourne trio Camp Cope have today called on fellow Falls Festival acts to join them in taking a stand against sexual assaults at music festivals.
The band have created a run of T-shirts with the message, "The person wearing this shirt stands against sexual assault and demands a change" and through a post on the group's Instagram, they have asked fellow artists to wear them while playing at this weekend's Falls Downtown event in Fremantle.

Other artists have been quick to thrown their support behind the campaign, including Alex Lahey, Mojo Juju and Japanese Wallpaper.
This year's Falls Festival event saw acts like The Smith Street Band, Ecca Vandal, Dune Rats, Flume, and Angus & Julia Stone design a range of limited edition T-shirts to raise money for their selected charities.
When asked if the Camp Cope T-shirt initiative was related to this, Falls Festival told The Music, "We applaud the message, this is their own shirt and we have no problem with them handing them out at the show."
Camp Cope's calls come just days after three sexual assaults were reported at Falls Festival in Marion Bay.
