White Ribbon Cup


The Round Ball
White Ribbon Cup

Under 21 G Squad v U14 United

The White Ribbon Foundation of Australia aims to eliminate violence against women by promoting culture-change around the issue.

White Ribbon Day was created by a handful of Canadian men in 1991 on the second anniversary of one man's massacre of fourteen women in Montreal. They began the White Ribbon Campaign to urge men to speak out against violence against women.

In 1999, the United Nations General Assembly declared November 25 the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (IDEVAW) and the White Ribbon has become the symbol for the day.

This Sunday will see The Round Ball support White Ribbon by hosting The White Ribbon Cup, a competition that will see both males and females compete on the soccer field.

White Ribbon bracelets and ribbons will be for sale during the game and Expressoworks will visit between 11.00 and 12.00.

All funds received by the White Ribbon Foundation will support the implementation of these strategies.
