You can order White Ribbons and Wristbands to sell in support of the campaign; at your school, workplace, sporting club or community centre. They are only $2 each!
What the White Ribbon RepresentsIn 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. Wearing a White Ribbon or Wristband on or around White Ribbon Day lets
others know that you've taken action to stand up against violence against women. Selling Ribbons or Wristbands demonstrates your school, workplace or community's
commitment to ending violence against women. Selling Ribbons and Wristbands can also be an easy way to
add a fundraising element to your corporate or community events.
- Wearing a White Ribbon is not a badge of purity or a badge of
perfection. It does not mean that the wearer has perfect relationships.
- It means that this man believes that violence towards women is unacceptable.
- It is a visible sign that the wearer does not support or excuse the use of violence against women.
- Everyone can show their commitment to ending violence against women by wearing a white ribbon.
- Proceeds from purchasing a White Ribbon go towards changing community attitudes through high impact awareness campaigns.
