Have you heard about the White Ribbon Campaign? Well, if you haven’t heard about it, let me introduce it to you…

white ribbon against violence and abuse of women

“The White Ribbon Campaign (WRC) is the largest effort in the world of men working to end violence against women (VAW). In over fifty-five countries, campaigns are led by both men and women, even though the focus is on educating men and boys. In some countries it is a general public education effort focused on ending violence against women.”

They started back in 1991 with a handful of Canadian men. They decided that they will take responsibility to urge men to speak out against violence against women. So wearing a white ribbon is their way to symbolize their opposition against violence to women.

So, if you want to be an advocate against violence and abuse on women, join the White Ribbon Campaign! Tie a white ribbon on your blog today!
