“There’s never been a more
important time for men and boys to
be engaged in the work of
challenging the cultural norms and
attitudes that are the foundation of
sexual harassment, violence and
controlling behaviours,” he added.

Mr Chilcott urged people to host an
event this White Ribbon Day,
“inviting men and all Australians to
learn what they can do to be a part
of the change and raise funds to
support our work in engaging men
and boys to create a future free
from all forms of men’s violence and
abuse”.
“We’re doing this because we
believe every woman should be free
from fear, harm and discrimination –
and because we believe that men
can change; that no boy is born
violent and we should use every
available resource to make these
beliefs a reality,” he said.
“Ending men’s violence against
women can sometimes feel like an
impossible goal. But we can do it
together, community by community,
workplace by workplace.”
White Ribbon Day events will
support
primary
prevention
initiatives in schools, workplaces
and the broader community,
working to change the social
conditions that are the drivers of
gendered violence through selfreflection, education, Workplace
Accreditation and community-led
prevention activities.
