At the centre’s White Ribbon luncheon on Wednesday, November 25, Mr Griffiths said men must play a role in bringing an end to violence against women.
“It has to stop and it has to stop now,” he said.
“That’s the thing that the men in this community need to do – stand up and be counted.”
Mr Griffiths said it was important that children learnt a good attitude to take forward into the future.
“It’s time for all of us to make the changes,” he said.
Among the audience was Gunnedah Family Support team leader Mel McCulloch who said the organisation was preparing to distribute 5000 anti-violence coasters to local pubs and hotels to serve as a reminder of the White Ribbon message.
