- Prominent WA men show their commitment and leadership to ending all violence against women in WA's STAND UP for White Ribbon exhibition
A diverse selection of 22 men from Western Australia's music, arts, sporting, business, government and media sectors have taken part in this year's STAND UP for White Ribbon project to pledge their support in the campaign to end violence against women.
White Ribbon is the world's largest male-led movement to end violence against women, and encourages men to take a stand and speak out about men's violence against women.
In Australia, White Ribbon Day occurs on November 23. It is a national campaign to raise community awareness of violence against women and how to prevent it.
Western Australia's STAND UP for White Ribbon project includes a series of black and white images of prominent men photographed with messages demonstrating their commitment to ending all violence against women.
This year's participants include Premier Mark McGowan, Aboriginal Elder Len Collard, restaurateur and Olympic athlete Eamon Sullivan, actor and director Myles Pollard and loop artist Sam Perry.
The campaign aims to highlight the positive role that men can play in preventing violence against women, while raising wider awareness of the issue.
The images will be displayed at the State Theatre Centre from today (November 22) until December 10. They will also be screened at the Perth Cultural Centre, Northbridge Piazza and Yagan Square.
