The family and friends of murdered Melbourne comedian Eurydice Dixon will hold a private funeral for her today.
The service for the 22-year-old comes amid a week of political debate about what can be done to improve safety for women.
Victoria's Women's Affairs Minister Natalie Hutchins says Australia is enduring a "gendered violence crisis", with 30 women already murdered in the nation this year.
"(Eurydice) was denied her right to get home safely, she was denied her right to life," she told parliament on Tuesday.
Opposition spokeswoman Emma Kealy says there needs to be more action beyond installing CCTV cameras. She has called for proactive mental health services around sex offenders.
Thousands of people on Monday evening gathered for a solemn vigil at the Carlton park where Ms Dixon was discovered.
She was raped and killed on her way home from performing a gig at Melbourne's Highlander Bar on June 12.
Jaymes Todd, 19 of Broadmeadows, is charged with her rape and murder.
