More than seven women are placed in domestic violence refuges in Queensland every day.
Most of these women are accompanied by their children.

The White Ribbon Day Campaign seeks to raise awareness about the epidemic of violence against women
and girls in our society through a variety of inclusive programs for individuals and communities.

TALK ABOUT IT

We ask all members of our community to join the campaign ‘Not Violent, Not Silent’ and talk about violence against women and girls.

Why does it happen?
How does it happen?
What can we do about it?

Join in the discussions on facebook and twitter!

Use #whiteribbon and #talkaboutit

Together we can draw a line and say ‘no more’. It’s black and white.

WEAR BLACK AND WHITE

Organise your workplace and community to wear black and whie on White Ribbon Day, 25 November 2011. Request a gold coin donation and raise much needed funds for victims of Domestic Violence. Contact our team if you need some help.

INVITE ALL YOUR FRIENDS TO THE FACEBOOK EVENT

We have set up a facebook event for White Ribbon Day. Invite all your networks to join this group and ask them to TALK ABOUT IT!
