Despite the demise of @WhiteRibbonAust, the key work of engaging men in preventing men's violence against women will continue. Let's build energetic grassroots networks of men, with women, engaged in feminist advocacy to end the violence. I'm keen.
So proud of all involved in making our event so successful . Inspired daily by the brave , resilient women I talk to .#WhiteRibbbonDay. https://t.co/jyzLdmE0yp
The #MidlandMarchThatMatters is this Thursday. Up to 500 members of the public will join police, support agencies and community groups to take a stand against domestic violence – one of WA’s biggest grassroots White Ribbon Day events: https://t.co/zec3Md5ssk @WhiteRibbonAust
Instead of asking why doesn’t she leave?
Ask why don’t we often believe her?
Why does her Gov not see her safety as a priority?
Why is there not enough refuge beds?
Why is when she tries to leave the most dangerous time?
Why is the focus not on the behaviour of violent men?

We'll keep asking "Why didn't she leave him?" instead of asking "Why did he hurt her?" We'll keep asking "Why was she alone in the dark?" instead of asking "Why was he?" We'll keep ignoring the real problem, instead of actually fixing it.
