White Ribbon Campaign

Cowdenbeath FC is commited to supporting just causes.  One of these causes is the White Ribbon Campaign.

The White Ribbon Campaign began in Canada in 1991, when a group of men decided they had a responsibility to stand up and speak out against violence against women. This was as a direct result from an incident at the university of Montreal on the 6th December 1989 where a male killed 14 females.

The male blamed women on his failure to get an engineering placement at the University as justification for his actions. Within 6 weeks of starting the campaign the group had persuaded 100,000 men to wear a white ribbon as a symbol of men's opposition to male violence against women. The White Ribbon Campaign continues to grow year on year throughout the world.
