The White Ribbon Campaign is the largest global male-led movement to stop men’s violence against women by changing attitudes and behaviours.
One in three women over the age of 15 reports having experienced physical or sexual violence. These women are our mothers, our daugthers, our wives, our colleagues and our friends.
White Ribbon encourages Australian men to swear an Oath never to commit, excuse or remain silent about violence against women.
The Oath is an active commitment which challenges signatories to, in the words of Mahatma Gandhi, be the change you want to see in the world.
This change will take time, but it starts today.
One hundred per cent of all profits from this performance of Side By Side By Sondheim will go to White Ribbon.
