White Ribbon Day in Northland was more about bro hugs and gentle words than a bunch of heavy-looking dudes roaring through town on motorbikes. It focuses on teaching boys (mainly) to become respectful men. White Ribbon was not only about women and children being victims of violence, he said. Mr Paikea has travelled New Zealand as a White Ribbon ambassador and men everywhere said there was not enough support for them. Also under the White Ribbon campaign tent yesterday were workers from Northland District Health Board, Barnardos, Maori Women's Welfare League, NZ Police, Victim Support, Ngati Hine Health Trust, ACC, and more.
