White Ribbon Day is an international day when people wear a white ribbon to show that they do not condone violence towards women.
It was started by a men’s movement in Canada in 1991 and has been officially adopted by the United Nations as its International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. The campaign was introduced to New Zealand by UNIFEM (the United Nations Development Fund for Women).
White Ribbon Day celebrates the many men willing to show leadership and commitment to promoting safe, healthy relationships within families and encourages men to challenge each other on attitudes and behaviour that are abusive.
The march will begin at the corner of St Hill Street and Taupo Quay. Please assemble by 12noon. The march will end at Majestic Square.
