Help end violence against women with White Ribbon Day, Nov 25

By Netball Australia

Netball Australia wants you to support White Ribbon Day (WRD) on Wednesday 25 November.

WRD is an initiative of the White Ribbon Foundation of Australia and aims to eliminate violence against women by promoting culture-change around the issue.

The major strategies to achieve this are a national media campaign as well as education and male leadership programmes aimed at men and boys around Australia.

All funds received by the White Ribbon Foundation will support the implementation of these strategies.
 
Make sure you buy a white ribbon on Wednesday to help eliminate violence against women.

What the White Ribbon Represents
  • Wearing a White Ribbon is not a badge of purity or a badge of perfection. It does not mean that the wearer has perfect relationships. 
  • It means that this man believes that violence towards women is unacceptable.
  • It is a visible sign that the wearer does not support or condone the use of violence against women.
  • Everyone can show their commitment to ending violence against women by wearing a white ribbon.
  • Proceeds from purchasing a White Ribbon go towards changing community attitudes through high impact awareness campaigns.

Men that have already taken the oath include Adam Goodes, Rove McManus and Kevin Rudd.
