Loco shows support for White Ribbon Day

White Ribbon Day is a national day of action to raise awareness to prevent one of the most common and pervasive forms of male violence – that towards women. All forms of violence are unacceptable. Sadly, one in three Australian women will be the victim of violence in her lifetime and WRD is all about changing the way people, particularly men, think about domestic violence in Australia.

White Ribbon believes the prevention of violence against women will change society for the better. When the White Ribbon Campaign culminates each year on 25 November men, and women, across Australia are encouraged to wear a white ribbon as a symbol of this oath.

The Locomotive Division of the RTBU encourages all Union members to get involved. If you would like to sell some WRD merchandise and have the conversation in your workplace or community regarding this campaign, please log onto www.whiteribbon.org.au.

You can join Australia’s campaign to stop men’s violence against women – it’s a symbol of your commitment to stand up for the women in your life.
