INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR THE ELIMINATION OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN
 

UNIFEM New Zealand is, for the fourth year, co-ordinating a White Ribbon Campaign to mark the U.N. International Day for Elimination of Violence Against Women (IDEVAW).

In 2004 an initial campaign was organised and over 13,000 white ribbons were distributed to diverse organisations, schools, companies and government departments throughout the country. Since then more and more ribbons are being worn each year.

There has been widespread success and enthusiastic support generated for this campaign by many groups and individuals. The Families Commission collaboration is invaluable as it widens, supports and strengthen this "Stop Violence" initiative further in 2008.

We warmly thank all you who endorse the message by joining our endeavour.

The major objective is to heighten awareness and to educate towards a commitment to never  condone violence and abuse in our society.

We invite your participation again in White Ribbon Day and warmly welcome new supporters.
