SI Barry and District

White Ribbon Day

Barry Rugby Club and Barry and District Soroptimists got together recently to mark International Day to Eradicate Violence Against Women, in particular, White Ribbon Day. In 1999 the UN officially recognised 25th November as White Ribbon Day, and events are now held each year, in countries all over the world. Wearing a white ribbon is a way for men to show their commitment to challenging all forms of violence against women and girls.

Local Soroptimists approached the Rugby Club to ask for their support, and were very pleased when players agreed to wear a white ribbon at their home match on December 5th, to show their commitment to the worldwide campaign.
