White Ribbon Day

Michael Kaufman, one of the founders of the White Ribbon campaign writes on the 20th anniversary of this movement for awareness of violence against women.

I consider myself fairly informed about this, but I didn't know that today - Nov 25 - is the UN International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. I didn't even know that the campaign goes from today to Dec 6, Canada's National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. (I always thought it was only that day.)

I also had no idea it had reached such important status in Australia and New Zealand.

And I had never heard this oath: I swear never to commit, excuse or remain silent about violence against women. This is my oath.

And yes, I do so swear.
