Dear White Ribbon Supporter

"thank you for taking part in the 2014 campaign. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks for your support."

Judge Peter Boshier
White Ribbon Chair

From the chair

Each year we have a focus that encourages men to become part of the solution. Just how pertinent that is was reinforced just days after White Ribbon Day.

Tragically Heidi Welman Scott was stabbed to death by her former partner. Our thoughts go out to her family, friends and workmates and our actions will be guided by the need to ensure this does not occur again.

But sadly it will, and to have any hope of changing the attitudes and behaviour of men, we must increase the visibility of our actions.

Please help us make this possible by donating to the campaign.

What we did this White Ribbon Day

Take The Pledge

Men CAN stop violence towards women. The first thing men can do to stop violence is to understand what it is and the harmful impact it has.

Violence is any action that controls through fear. It can be physical or non-physical. It can happen in front of others, but is often hidden and occurs in private.

NEVER REMAIN SILENT ABOUT VIOLENCE TOWARDS WOMEN

When you tolerate or accept violence to women, it sends the message to others that violence is okay.

By acting as if violence is acceptable, you help violence to continue by creating an environment that supports violence. When children see adults fail to act, they can think violence to women is acceptable.

Remaining silent about violence against women is ignoring it and doing nothing to challenge it.

This impacts on all women and contributes to a culture where people don’t feel able to speak up and violence to women continues.
