Australia’s violence against women statistics, and the figures from the report, are driving White Ribbon’s new campaign.
The group is hoping to reshape the national understanding of domestic violence by encouraging like-minded people to form Community Action Groups, which will then develop community-led responses to bring about change and address cultural attitudes.
In the lead up to White Ribbon Day on Nov. 20, White Ribbon Australia is asking individuals to hold White Ribbon events, like a march, meal, webinar or meeting, with the intention that the event will prompt the establishment of the action groups.
Chilcott said one of the key catalysts for change would come from men who speak to other men about the kinds of behaviour that are and aren’t appropriate in a relationship.

"We can only create change through a community-led response, mobilising people in our schools and workplaces to reshape understanding of what constitutes a healthy and respectful relationship,” he said, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. “We also need men to begin having these conversations with other men. They need to do the hard work of shifting what is accepted male behaviour and what is abuse.”
