White Ribbon Day Ambassador and Panthers Captain Petero Civoniceva will be joined by fellow Panther and Australian team mate Luke Lewis when they attend the White Ribbon Day Breakfast at Parliament House tomorrow morning.
The pair will be guests of Cr Vincent De Luca OAM at the breakfast from 7.45am on Thursday morning.
“Petero and Luke are outstanding role models in their sport and the wider community,” Cr De Luca said. “It’s an honour to have two such high profile sportspeople lend their support to the White Ribbon message.”
Wearing a white ribbon is a personal pledge that the wearer does not excuse violence against women, and is committed to supporting community action to stop violence by men against women.
Men who wear a white ribbon demonstrate their opposition to violence against women and their commitment to equality between women and men. Men of all ages, from all workplaces, of all political affiliations and of all racial, ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds, sexual orientation and physical ability are needed to help establish community leadership to stop violence against women.
