White Ribbon Day - 25 November
White Ribbon Day, held on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, is a campaign aimed at promoting a change in culture around the issue of domestic violence. The campaign involves education and male leadership programs and people are encouraged to wear a white ribbon on the day to show their commitment to ending violence against women. The AIC has produced a number of recent publications on domestic violence.
White Ribbon Day, 25 Nov, marks the beginning of a national campaign to get all Australian men and boys to take a positive action and put an end to one of the most widespread human rights abuses taking place in our country.
We are calling on men to swear never to commit, never to excuse, and never to remain silent about violence against women at www.myoath.com.au.
The campaign already has the support of high profile men such as Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, Lt Gen Ken Gillespie, Hazem El Masri, Rove, Keith Urban, Wil Anderson, David Koch, Adam Goodes, Shannon Noll, Jason Culina, Dicko, and the list goes on.
You can join the ranks of men supporting the campaign by swearing at www.myoath.com.au
MORE ABOUT WHITE RIBBON The White Ribbon Foundation of Australia 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 & 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.
White Ribbon Day - History
White Ribbon Day was created by a handful of Canadian men in 1991 on the second anniversary of one man's massacre of fourteen women in Montreal. They began the White Ribbon Campaign to urge men to speak out against violence against women.
In 1999, the United Nations General Assembly declared November 25 the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (IDEVAW) and the White Ribbon has become the symbol for the day.
From 2000, the Commonwealth Government Office for Women ran awareness activities on the International Day, and, in 2003, the Australian branch of the United Nations Development Fund for Women, UNIFEM, began a partnership with men and men's organisations to make this a national campaign. Ten thousand white ribbons were distributed in 2003.
Today hundreds of thousands of white ribbons are worn by men and women across Australia - men at work; men and women in all Australian police forces; men in national and local sporting matches and organisations; men in the media; men and women in politics; men in the defence forces; men and women in capital cities and in rural and regional Australia.
The campaign continues to go from strength to strength and now boasts more than 230 white ribbon Ambassadors Australia wide, as well as more events across the country and more organisations and individuals participating year upon year.
