White Ribbon Day - November 25th

In 1999, the United Nations General Assembly declared November 25th the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and the White Ribbon has become the symbol for that day.

The White Ribbon campaign aims to raise awareness among Australian men and boys about the roles they can play to prevent violence against women.  The campaign asks men to stand up, speak out and act to say no to men's violence against women.  Men and women across Australia are called to wear a white ribbon as a visual symbol of their commitment to this cause.

If you're a man and know about or witness violence against a woman, what would you do?

If you're a woman affected by domestic violence, what would you do?
