The White Ribbon pledge will be signed by people in Rotorua and all over New Zealand tomorrow to support a commitment to stand up, speak out and act to prevent men's violence against women.
White Ribbon Day is held annually on November 25 with events to promote the campaign happening in communities around New Zealand.
Lakes District Health Board family violence intervention programme co-ordinator Penny Rollo is at the Christmas Craft Market in the Rotorua Hospital atrium today selling white ribbons.
The large white ribbon artwork that was a feature last year is on display again, with the white ribbon works adorning the large London Plane trees that run down Pukeroa Rd, leading to Rotorua Hospital. They will be there for the weekend.
Respectful Relationships is the theme this year and Ms Rollo said it was good to remember to follow this philosophy in all relationships - at home, at work, with friends and in the community.
