16 days of Action for the Elimination of Violence Against Women

The 25 November saw the launch of the Campaign to eliminate violence against women and the start of the 16 Days of Action. The East Dunbartonshire launch included a presentation from Michael Kaufman from the White Ribbon Campaign
I have worn my white ribbon for several years now after having obtained at a violence reduction conference the ribbon symbolises my pledge to never commit, condone or remain silent about violence against women.
Michaels talk was very powerful and highlighted a very positive message about how we as men can contribute to the sterling work women have undertaken already on this problem and ensure that our sons and daughters will not have to face the scourge of violence against women so prevalent in Scotland today.
