Absolutely devastated @ace_national have rejected our bid for the 3rd time to support our #DomesticViolence & impact on children project
We had raised 1/2 the money we needed & may lose that now

In 1991 - 3men, Jack Layton, Ron Slusser and Michael Kaufman created the White Ribbon Campaign in Canada and decided to show men’s support to the cause by choosing the same date and re-named #idevaw as white ribbon day
WomanOnFire retweeted
25 Nov was designated #idevaw a day against gender-based violence in 1981. This date was selected to commemorate the lives of Patria, Minerva & Maria Teresa Mirabal sisters & political activists from the Dominican Republic who were brutally murdered in 1960 1/2
