White Ribbon Day is held annually on November 25 with events occurring throughout November.
On Tuesday 22nd November a New Zealand Defence Force White Ribbon torch, carried by Royal New Zealand Navy divers and assisted by New Zealand Police, passed through Auckland on its way to Wellington to signify NZDF’s commitment to the White Ribbon pledge.
Royal New Zealand Navy divers Pumau Campbell and Trevor Strickland emerged from the water at Stanley Bay with the New Zealand Defence Force White Ribbon torch at the start of a journey to highlight the White Ribbon message of respectful relationships.
Two torches, commissioned by the Chief of Defence Force and White Ribbon Ambassador, Lieutenant General Tim Keating, have been created to shine a light on NZDF’s commitment to stop violence against women.
