Tomorrow is White Ribbon Day. About White Ribbon White Ribbon Australia is a non-profit organisation and Australias only national, male-led primary prevention campaign to end men’s violence against women. Through primary prevention initiatives and an annual campaign, White Ribbon Australia seeks to change the attitudes and behaviours that lead to and perpetuate men’s violence against women, by engaging boys and men to lead social change. In particular, Australias unique Ambassadors Program supports thousands of men to be the faces and leaders of the campaign, by living the White Ribbon Oath: never to commit, excuse or remain silent about violence against women. Women support White Ribbon Australia through their roles as White Ribbon Champions, encouraging the men in their lives to make a commitment to promote positive attitudes and behaviours towards women, as well as to intervene safely to prevent violence against women when needed. White Ribbon Day celebrates the culmination of the annual campaign and global recognition of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. As such, men and women are encouraged to wear a symbolic white ribbon on 25 November. White Ribbon Day (25 November) also signals the start of the 16 Days of Activism to Stop Violence against Women, which ends on Human Rights Day (10 December). Tomorrow we SVSG Sydney begin our 16 Days of activism campaign. Thanks to funding from Fairfield City Council and the hard work that the SVSG volunteers have done we are now ready to run 3 events for the Pacific communities in South West Sydney to raise awareness and share information on the alarming statistics and facts about Domestic Violence in Australia. We invite you to join us on our social media awareness campaign. W also invite you to attend our Launch titled A Warriors promise on Monday the 25th of November at 6pm. Our next event is a Pacific & Maori mens interactive group called Keeping it Real for Men. This session will talk about family dynamics and a free supper will be provided. Lastly we will finish off our 16 days of Activism with a Pacific Family fun day on the 7th of December. Therell be jumping castles, activities, basketball and volleyball games, entertainment and food...All free. Why not come along to our events and show us your support...to minimise the growing statistics as a community we need to work together to Make A Difference.
