Living Free Without Violence Network at Relationship Services Wellington are organising a White Ribbon Day Race through the streets of Wellington at lunch time on White Ribbon Day, with the support of the Wellington City Council and NZ Police.
The aim is to have 200 men from 20 major industries in Wellington running in teams of 10 carrying a “white ribbon”. The organisations will be Banks, Supermarkets, Government Departments, Sports Bodies, Trade Industries, and other major groups. They hope to involve a large number of men from a diverse Business Network across Wellington to highlight the theme which is that “we are in a race to create positive change in our homes for the safety of our women and children and the future of our community’.
The race will end with messages about the need to address Family Violence to the people of Wellington from the 20 organisations displayed on sheets which will be hung on a line in Civic Square.
To register your team, contact Susie Colien-Reid on susiec@relationships.org.nz or phone 04 385 1729.
