2021 White Ribbon Day Breakfast

White Ribbon is the world’s largest movement engaging men and boys to end men’s violence against women and girls, promote gender equality and create new opportunities for men to build positive, healthy and respectful relationships. As part of this global movement, White Ribbon Australia is working to eliminate gendered violence and aims to create a society in which all women and children can live in safety, free from violence and abuse.

In 2021, the Queensland Government's White Ribbon Day Breakfast will discuss critical issues such as eliminating non-physical abuse and opportunities to improve women’s experiences in the criminal justice system.

This year’s breakfast will feature influential leaders, The Honourable Margaret McMurdo AC, Chair of Legal Aid Queensland, Inspector Ben Martain, Manager, State and Family Violence and Vulnerable Persons Unit, QPS, Harris Andrews, Vice Captain, Brisbane Lions, Dr Brian Sullivan, Senior Lecturer and Head of Course, Domestic and Family Violence Practice Program Central Queensland University and Michael Jeh, educator and public speaker, led my Master of Ceremonies Matt Wordsworth, who will discuss critical prevention techniques, to help put an end to the scourge of domestic and family violence.
