Why doesn't Sven Goran Ericcson campaign against Violence against Women ?

White Ribbon Campaign has launched in the UK. Men pledge not to commit, condone or remain silent about violence to women. The Austrian Football Coach Hans Krankl is one of the thousands of Austrian men who have publicly joined the Austrian White Ribbon Campaign. However in the uK it's much harder to reach opinion formers,.

Men are starting to take responsibility for campaigning to put an end to the violence which affects 1 in 4 women.
The organisation in the UK has members who make a commitment to ending the violence which men use against women on an almost routine basis. Men involved in the White Ribbon Campaign take part in educational activities with young men and with co workers and friends to persuade them to pledge never to commit condone or remain silent about violence against women. Wearing a ribbon is a reminder to others and to yourself to take action to change behaviour.
At a recent meeting Cherie Booth was presented with a white ribbon to give to Tony Blair., but it's up to the campaign to create an atmosphere when he feels obliged to wear it..
"Where the campaign started in Canada, hundreds of thousands of men have been involved, and it's time men in the UK took some responsibility," said Chris Green, Chair of the Campaign. If the Austrian campaign can get Krankl involved, we want to see Beckham, Rooney and Roy Keane to take a stand.
