White Ribbon Scotland
The White Ribbon Campaign is the largest international movement of
men working to end violence against women. Supporters are asked to
pledge ‘never to commit, condone or remain silent about violence against
women’.
If you, or a group of men you know, want to get involved with the work of
White Ribbon Scotland visit: www.whiteribbonscotland.org.uk

Council and College combine to pay floral tribute to the White Ribbon Campaign
To mark the 16 days of Action Campaign
Clackmannanshire Council, in partnership with
The Alloa Campus of Forth Valley College,
will be creating a display of white crocuses
that will be an annual reminder of the issue of
violence against women. During November white
crocuses bulbs will be planted in the design of
the White Ribbon Campaign logo on a prominent
embankment outside the college. The White
Ribbon campaign is signed up to by men who

know that there’s never an excuse for violence
against women. They pledge never to condone
it, or to stand by when they know it is happening.
The planting has been designed and will be
carried out by the Council’s land services and the
highly visible site has been made available by
the College. Every year in February the crocuses
will emerge in the form of the White Ribbon logo
as an ongoing reminder of the role of men in the
campaign against the issue of violence against
women.
