Marchers walked through Coogee. (Twitter/Luke Bould)  Hundreds of Sydneysiders have marched on Coogee Beach to mark White Ribbon Day with pledges to bring an end to violence against women.  NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione told the white-clad crowds this morning that speaking up was key to stamping out domestic violence.  "What we need is people talk, to tell us if you hear something happening next door, if they see injuries on a friend at work, they need to tell us," Mr Scipione said.  Mr Scipione said police responded to more than 145,000 domestic-related incidents statewide over the last year, and 32 people had lost their lives through family and relationship violence already this year.  The march went from Randwick to Coogee. (9NEWS)  NSW police commissioner Andrew Scipione told crows to speak up. (9NEWS)  One of those making their way from Randwick to Coogee to swear an anti-violence oath this morning was former Australian of the Year and ex-Sydney Swans star Adam Goodes, who said men needed to stand up and take responsibility.  "To see so many young men in this crowd, we know that we're starting to influence their mind," Mr Goodes said.  "So hopefully that generation, when they come through, they don't see it as men's culture where it's okay to hit women - because it's definitely not."

White Ribbon breakfasts and marches will also take in capital cities around the country.  White Ribbon is an International male-led campaign to end violence against women, which originated in Canada in 1991, and is now active in more than 60 countries.
