UNITED NATIONS WHITE RIBBON CAMPAIGN PLEDGE YOUR SUPPORT AND
MAKE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND CHILDREN A THING OF THE PAST November 25 was declared as The White Ribbon International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women by the United Nations. During the period surrounding this date, men and boys especially, are encouraged to pledge "Not to commit, condone or remain silent on violence against women " Several men from Malaysia, Western Australia and India have tirelessly worked on a weblink to facilitate the White Ribbon pledge to be made online - this site was officially launched on White Ribbon Day 25th November 2008. The hope is to gather a target of 2008 on-line pledges within the official 16 days of activism starting from Tuesday 25th November. The aim is to MAKE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN A THING OF THE PAST. Please support this course by encouraging people to commit to the White Ribbon Pledge by logging www.journeytowardshope.com <http://www.journeytowardshope.com/> to pledge online.
