Every week at least one Australian woman dies from domestic violence. There is something very, very wrong in our community when men still think it’s OK to harm women.
Violence against women is never acceptable.
White Ribbon, Australia’s campaign to stop violence against women, is getting ready for White Ribbon Day on Sunday the 25th of November. They’ve launched a new campaign that not only calls on us not to commit violence but to challenge it. Staying silent only lets violence against women continue.
Here’s just one of the short videos that are being used to get the message out.
If you want to play your part to stand up to violence against women you can help share the campaign. You can also find out more about safely challenging violent behaviour.
You can let the world know where you stand on violence against women by swearing an oath.
