White Ribbon Ambassadors are prominent men from many fields who promote and further the campaign.
White Ribbon Ambassadors present a public face of our national promotion strategy to encourage men, to publicly champion non-violent relationships in our community.
Ambassadors help to:
- Advocate positive, non-violent relationships with women
- Build a strong culture in the Australian community that there is 'no excuse' for violent behaviour
Their prominence in their field and appeal to a broad cross section of the Australian community greatly assists in communicating this message.
We ask Ambassadors, as role models in their communities, to use their excellent leadership skills and networks to raise awareness of the issue and promote to colleagues, friends and contacts the importance of wearing a White Ribbon on 25 November.
