Thank you everyone, for such a wonderfully successful Massachusetts White Ribbon Day this past year.
We held the White Ribbon Day Proclamation Event, at 10am on March 3rd, in Gardner Auditorium followed by the unfurling of a three story banner at the Massachusetts State House in Boston.
Over 350 people, majority men and boys, from a great diversity of communities joined together for a wonderful program.
Read more about last year's campaign complete with video, photos and reports of this event and the many local activities that took place across the commonwealth.
You too can become involved.
We’re taking our cue from the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights that speaks to how violence against
women is a human rights violation and how these abuses around the
world are obstacles to efforts for peace and gender equality in
all societies.
In addition, we link importantly with The United Nations Secretary
General’s new campaign UNited
to End Violence Against Women, which is celebrated on International
Women’s Day, March 8th.
JDI invites you to sign on as a White Ribbon Day Ambassador and
participate in local activities across Massachusetts. You can show
your support by encouraging others in your organizations, families,
and workplaces to wear a white ribbon, place a poster up at their
workplaces, spread the word about the campaign and its aims, organize
local events to speak out against violence towards women, and challenge
attitudes and behaviors which condone or tolerate violence.
On this website, you can find out about the history of the White
Ribbon Campaign, what this pledge means around the world and how
you can get involved, including tool kits for planning local events.
We also urge you to learn more about sexual assault and domestic
violence. You can find information, facts and more on the Jane
Doe Inc. website.
