A western Massachusetts district attorney is leading an effort to stop violence against women.
Northwestern District Attorney David Sullivan is co-chair of the 2015 White Ribbon Campaign. It encourages people take a pledge to end violence against women and wear a white ribbon as a symbol of the commitment. Sullivan said he is particular pleased with the response to the campaign in local high schools.
"Teen dating violence is a cycle of violence that has existed for generations, but we can break that generational cycle, because we see it every day in our high school with kids that are reaching out," said Sullivan.
The White Ribbon Campaign began in Canada in 1989 after a gunman shot and killed 14 women engineering students.
