Hingham Police Look to End Violence Against Women By Hanging White Ribbons

White Ribbon Day is a campaign to help end violence against women, including domestic violence, sexual assault or sexual harassment.

Hingham Police Chief Michael Peraino tied  white robbons onto the police cruisers this week in support of Massachusetts’s 6th annual White Ribbon Day.

White Ribbon Day is a campaign to help end violence against women, including domestic violence, sexual assault or sexual harassment.

The campaign asks men of all ages to serve as an example and take the pledge that states “From this day forward, I promise to be part of the solution in ending violence against women”.

The ribbons will hang all day Thursday from the Hingham Police vehicles.
