Who: White Ribbon Day Ride
Where: Manukau City, Auckland
White Ribbon Day, 25 November, is the international day when people wear a white ribbon to show that they do not condone violence towards women.
The White Ribbon Ride, organised by the Families Commission, sees motorcyclists gather and ride through over 35 towns around the North Island. The aim being to raise awareness for the White Ribbon Campaign far and wide.
The "Super Maori Fullas", brothers who grew up the Super M?ori Fulla way surrounded by love and respect, were supported by the "Patriot Motorcycle Club" (members drawn from serving or past members of New Zealands Defenece Forces).
Some history: Started by a men’s movement in Canada in 1991, White Ribbon Day has been officially adopted by the United Nations as its International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. The campaign was introduced to New Zealand by UNIFEM (the United Nations Development Fund for Women).
