The group gathered at Katherine Local Court to demand action on gendered violence, along with multiple protests around the country triggered by multiple allegations of sexual assault in Federal Parliament.
The Katherine marchers moved from the local court and walked through the shopping centre, carrying signs with messages about female inequality and violence against women.
Speaking at the demonstration, local author and council alderman Toni Tapp Coutts said the national wave of attention on gendered violence was being felt in Katherine.
"We're marching for justice for women, to make a bit of a noise and bring to public attention... the lack of justice that women get not only within society, but within the court system as well," she said.
"We've got a good core of women in Katherine who keep the awareness up... we've just got to keep at it."
Demonstrator Jo Nicol praised the high turnout for the local protest, and said she was pleased with the crowd given the march took place on a work day.
She said the strong showing highlighted the importance of addressing gender issues on both a national and local scale.
"I think there's a groundswell all over Australia that has highlighted the inequalities for women," she said.
"Women in Katherine need to be part of the broader conversation."
Katherine Women's Legal Service lawyer Brooke Brenner attended the march with other KWILS colleagues, she said the event was a show of solidarity for Katherine's women.
"We've all come together to raise awareness about gender issues."
Former Labor candidate for Katherine Kate Ganley said she hopes governments take notice of the protests around the country and enact change as a result.
"I think it's great, people across Australia are making it known it is time for change."
The demonstration comes after the first Katherine International Women's Day March in two years took place last week.
March 4 Justice has seen Australian women protests in their thousands to demand action against gendered violence and sexual assault, and push for widespread change in workplaces, the political system and criminal justice system.
The movement was inspired by former Liberal Party staffer Brittany Higgins, who made headlines last month when she went public with an allegation a male colleague sexually assaulted her.
The incident allegedly occurred inside the office of Defence Minister Linda Reynolds and has sparked significant controversy about women's rights.
Since the allegations, protests have cropped up around the country including in regional centres like Katherine.
