Today is White Ribbon Day
Nov. 25th, 2008 11:50 amThe International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women - also known as White Ribbon Day - is marked on 25 November each year and is an opportunity for governments, businesses and community groups to focus on a problem that affects many people in Australia and throughout the world.
Violent crimes against women and girls - like domestic violence, sexual assault and people trafficking - are committed every day. It affects everyone in the community, and the White Ribbon Campaign provides a time for us to pay particular attention to this very important issue.
The White Ribbon Campaign is the largest effort in the world of men working to end men's violence against women, and wearing a white ribbon is seen as a personal pledge that the wearer does not condone violence against women, and is committed to supporting community action to stop violence by men against women.
A shout out to the male-identified persons on my flist: If you can find one, I urge you to purchase and wear a white ribbon or wrist-band today.
