White Ribbon is a global campaign supporting the prevention and protection of women all around the world to end violence against them. This imperative movement needs your support to let the attackers of innocent women know their actions are unacceptable, while also giving women a day of celebration and respect to end this violence.
In Australia, White Ribbon is the only male-led campaign to end men’s violence against women – making women’s safety a man’s issue too. The International Day of the Elimination of Violence against Women, also known as White Ribbon Day (November 25th) signals the start of 16 Days of Activism to Stop Violence against Women, which ends on Human Rights Day (December 10). The White Ribbon campaign works through primary prevention initiatives involving awareness raising and education, and programs with youth, schools, workplaces and across the broader community.
MEN! Let the world know where you stand on violence against women. Show your support and SWEAR THE OATH NOW!!!
