Today is White Ribbon Day!  is the largest global, male-led movement to stop violence against women.  It engages and enables men and boys to lead this social change.  
In Australia, all women should live in safety, free from all forms of men’s violence. Sadly, this is not the case. On average, more than one woman per week is killed by a current or former partner. This deeply disturbing fact is only one tragic part of the bigger story surrounding domestic violence.
The Australian community is uniting to focus on stopping the scourge of Domestic Violence. White Ribbon, now in its 12th year, asks Australians to take a stand today to end men’s violence against women. This campaign focuses on the positive role men can play to influence the actions of those few men who use violence and break the cycle of violence in society.
White Ribbon Australia is an organisation that works to prevent violence by changing attitudes and behaviours. The prevention work is driven through social marketing, the and prevention initiatives with communities, schools, universities, sporting codes and workplaces.
Events and fundraising programs will be held all over Australia today. For information about events in your local area or to show your support for businesses promoting the campaign, visit the website.
