Men campaign to end violence against women Print E-mail
Wednesday, 05 March 2008

A 30-metre long white ribbon will today be paraded through the streets of Edinburgh today by men campaigning to stop violence against women. 

The white ribbon is the symbol of the international movement that wants to see men tackling their own assumptions and behaviour on the issue of violence against women.

Organised by Amnesty International, the ribbon will be carried from Edinburgh University, down the Mound and along Princes Street.

Amnesty programme director in Scotland John Watson said:

“The level of violence against women in Scotland is appalling. Yet too many people accept it as a normal fact of life.

“It is too easy for men to assume that ‘I’m not doing it so it’s nothing to do with me’. On the contrary men have an important part to play in overturning the underlying attitudes that mean between a quarter and third of women in Scotland will be subject to domestic abuse at some time in their lives.”
