Wear a White Ribbon Today!! 25th November

International Day for Elimination of violence against women.
25th November

Wearing a White Ribbon makes a difference because:
it is a visible sign that the wearer does not support or condone the use of violence against women or children;
most men do not use violence. Most men treat women and girls with respect. But a minority of men treat women and girls with contempt and violence, and it is up to the majority of men to wear White Ribbons and help create a culture in which this is unacceptable;
men, as community leaders and decision-makers, can play a key role in helping stop violence against women by speaking out and stepping in when male friends and relatives insult or attack women,and demonstrating their support and by wearing a White Ribbon;
women can show their support for men and their commitment to working in partnership with men to end violence against women by wearing a White Ribbon.
