Ribbons to raise awareness ORANGE ribbons will soon be popping up all around Frankston in support of ending violence against women and children. The municipality will soon be “ribbon bombed” as part of a “16 days of activism” campaign through until December 10. The ribbons will handmade by local organisation Zonta Melbourne South East. Zonta president Peta Simpson said
“violence against women and girls is one of the most pervasive human rights violations and a global epidemic.” “During the 16 Days of Activism you’ll see our orange ribbons on Wells Street and down Shannon Mall in Frankston. We’d love people to take a selfie with the ribbons and post it to social media to show your support to end gender based violence,” she said. “We encourage everyone to take selfies with the orange ribbons and use
the hashtags #ZontaSaysNo #16Days #EndGBV and #FrankstonCity” Frankston mayor Cr Michael O’Reilly said “the ribbons are an important reminder that family violence can impact families everywhere in our community.” “I encourage all community members and visitors to get behind this great cause across these 16 days so we can send a strong message about our commitment to end violence,” he said.
