White Ribbon Day on HMAS Warramunga

White Ribbon Foundation of Australia aims to eliminate violence against women by promoting culture-change around the issue.

The Royal Australian Navy is proud to be a supporter of White Ribbon Day and an advocate of women's rights. All women have the right to feel safe and be treated with dignity and respect. This view underpins our equity and diversity policies and is fundamental to our culture," said Head Navy People and Reputation, Commodore David Letts, CSM, RAN.

Today hundreds of thousands of white ribbons are worn by men and women across Australia - men at work; men and women in all Australian police forces; men in national and local sporting matches and organisations; men in the media; men and women in politics; men in the defence forces; men and women in capital cities and in rural and regional Australia.

The campaign continues to go from strength to strength and now boasts more than 230 white ribbon Ambassadors Australia wide.
