PCYC supports White Ribbon Day

Umina Beach PCYC will be selling white ribbons and wristbands on White Ribbon Day, Thursday, November 25.

White Ribbon Day is aimed at raising awareness about violence against women in our community.

"One in three Australian women will be a victim of physical or sexual violence in her lifetime," said PCYC chief Mr Chris Gardiner.

"This could be your mother, sister, daughter or friend, so by supporting your local PCYC, you will be joining us on the path for prevention and change."

"The NSW Police Force is a strong supporter of White Ribbon Day," said Superintendent Allan Harding.

"As a frontline Officer, I know only too well the problem of violence against women and the impact it has on our community.

"I think this in an important initiative and I am proud to be associated with it" he said.
