The protest is in response to revelations that at least two Wellington College students made private Facebook posts that were discriminatory to women and referencing rape.
A group of Wellington Girls' East College students will be joined by Rape Crisis representatives and members of the Green Party as they protest outside Parliament at 4.30pm.
Organiser and Wellington East Girls' College student Salome Teklezgi said they want to end rape culture within high schools.
"We feel it's not talked about enough. Especially teenage boys, they don't have enough knowledge about this issue," she said.
Teklezgi said last week highlighted just how important it is that rape culture is changed.
"We have to take a stand about it, because it's becoming a bigger issue."
