White Ribbon Day Campaign

White Ribbon Day is held on November 25 each year and is designated by the UN as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.

The White Ribbon is a symbol of hope for a world where women and girls can live free from the fear of violence. Wearing the ribbon is about challenging the acceptability of violence - by getting men involved, helping women to break the silence, and encouraging everyone to come together to build a better world for all.

To mark this day BAWSO has various events across Wales:
