White Ribbon Day

Nov 25, 2008 | 2 Comments

Today, 25th November 2008, is White Ribbon Day.

It is a day to show by wearing a ribbon that you don’t condone violence towards women of any kind.

Guys there are many things to think of here. It is wider than physically hitting your partner. What prevents women you know from being able to escape an abusive relationship?

Is the man (and men, in a wider context) preventing her freedom by tying her in financially? Or by emotional manipulation? It isn’t un-PC to say that western society still caters more for the single man than the single woman.

What else can you think of for guys to consider today?
