Stop violence against women
On 25 November is White Ribbon Day. Australians are invited to send a united social media message to help put a stop to violence against women.
White Ribbon’s goal is to get thousands of people to sign up and share the same message, at the same time, on the same day, to all social networks, with the aim to UNITE, SHOUT and make CHANGE happen.
Everyone can participate. You can sign up to allow the website Thunderclap permission to post to your Facebook and Twitter accounts just once on 25 November. There are no further obligations, your information is not stored or shared, and your account will only be accessed once.
White Ribbon is a male-led movement to end men’s violence against women. Originating in Canada in 1991, White Ribbon is now active in more than 60 countries. White Ribbon began in Australia in 2003 as part of UNIFEM (now UN Women) and formally become a Foundation in 2007.
Open Forum is a policy discussion website produced by Global Access Partners – Australia’s Institute for Active Policy. We welcome contributions and invite you to submit a blog to the editor and follow us on Facebook, Linkedin and Mastadon.
