About White Ribbon Day 2010

On March 2, 2010, men throughout Massachusetts will once again speak out to:

change societal attitudes and beliefs that perpetuate and make excuses for violence against women!

promote safety and respect in all relationships and situations!

build a network of resounding voices that will support and advance the initiatives and efforts of Jane Doe Inc. and its member organizations to promote the safety, liberty and dignity of survivors!

As part of an international human rights effort, the Massachusetts 2010 White Ribbon Day campaign will invite men and boys to be part of the solution in ending violence against women.

Our pledge for this year’s campaign reflects what we envision and want to create: Finding a solution to end men's violence against women. This will take all of us working together, and being part of the solution means putting the pledge to help into action.

The centerpiece of this year’s campaign will be local WRD Proclamation events held throughout the Commonweath in the week of March 1st to 7th. In addition, we plan to hold a statewide event this year in Boston. Please check back here in later January to learn more details about the event.
