White Ribbon, the ubiquitous symbol for ending men's violence against women, has been sold to Communicare, a Perth-based organisation which has provided domestic violence services for more than 20 years.

The liquidators of White Ribbon Australia, the high-profile charity which collapsed last month after accumulating losses of about $1.3 million over the previous two financial years, today announced that Communicare had bought the failed company's intellectual property and remaining assets.

The sale was welcomed by the founder of the global White Ribbon movement, White Ribbon Canada, which had previously expressed "serious reservations" about any plan to sell any intellectual property associated with the movement.

“It is reassuring that Communicare, whose values and commitment align so well with the White Ribbon movement, will provide substantial experience and strong governance to the important work of White Ribbon Australia,'' White Ribbon Canada executive director Humberto Carolo said.
