White Ribbon Campaign to End Violence Against Women

The motion

That the Parliament supports the White Ribbon Campaign, which leads up to the UN International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on 25 November 2002; recognises the white ribbon as the international symbol for a world where women and girls can live free from the fear of violence; supports the work of the UK White Ribbon Campaign, co-ordinated by WOMANKIND Worldwide, to raise funds and awareness to end violence against women; notes with alarm the prevalence and gravity of violence against women, with one in four women in the UK experiencing domestic violence at some point in their lives, and one in 20 women suffering rape, and at least one in every three women around the world being beaten, coerced into sex, or abused in some other way, and urges MSPs and others to support this campaign by wearing a white ribbon to show their support for ending violence against women.
