All men can step up

All men can say…

It can’t be that bad or she’d leave

You made your bed you lie in it

Only in instances of violent crimes against women do we question and blame the victim. This has to stop.

It’s not just the physical trauma but the emotional trauma that takes years to overcome. And for some, they never recover. It shouldn’t be happening and we should not be allowing it. Only we, as Men can end it. 25th November is white ribbon day. It’s a part of 16 days of activism to end violence against women. We are encouraging all men to promise to:

Someone once said:
