During the 16 days of the campaign white ribbons will be used to symbolize support and to create awareness about the campaign. Individuals can make their own ribbons, corporate partners can provide their employees with ribbons – and even buildings have been adorned with huge white ribbons in past campaigns. The ribbons symbolize the commitment of the wearer to never commit or condone violence against women and children, and to speak out about violence where they see it.

Why Wear a White Ribbon?
To show your support;

To encourage others to take part in the campaign ;
To show your concern and committment to a violence free South Africa.
