Speaking Out Against Violence

The White Ribbon Campaign is ushering in its 10th anniversary with this year's anti-violence education and awareness work. In communities across Canada and in more than 25 countries around the world, men and women will attend WRC events, read WRC literature, sign posters affirming their commitment to work to end violence against women, and wear a white ribbon. "By wearing a white ribbon, men take the first step in acknowledging their part in ending violence against women," said national outreach coordinator Jack Gagliardi. Nov. 25­Dec. 6 are the designated White Ribbon Days. As in past years, white ribbons will be available for delegates attending CAUT Council Nov. 23­25, 2001.
