This year marks the 3rd Annual statewide White Ribbon Day Campaign in
Massachusetts. White Ribbon Day has been moved to March 2, 2010 to coincide
with Women's History Month. The White Ribbon campaign asks men to wear a white
ribbon to celebrate the women and girls in their lives, celebrate positive
masculinity, and pledge to be part of the solution to end violence against women.

By inviting men to be part of the solution, The Women's Center is working to end
relationship violence and break the cycle of domestic violence in our communities.
The Women's Center introduced the White Ribbon Campaign to the Southcoast in 2009.
Students in the Peaceful Coalition at Durfee High School, UMASS Dartmouth,
and others have joined the campaign and signed the pledge to end violence
against women. During February and March, TWC will encourage community
organizations to collaborate and implement campaigns in the 13 communities
we serve.
