March for Change: White Ribbon Day

Next date: Friday, 22 November 2024 | 12:00 PM

White Ribbon aims to flip the script of “boys will be boys” and focus on all the great qualities boys and men can demonstrate if that’s what they are taught.

This year we are encouraging dads, caregivers and mentors to speak to their children about these core issues – respectful relationships, consent and healthy masculinity. The reality is that boys become the men we teach them to be.

Join the march this Friday 22nd November 12:00 – 1:30pm and walk from Taupo Quay to Majestic Square.
