UMBRELLA HEARTS RIBBON
The Umbrella is a symbol of protection and orange is a bright happy colour that children deserve to be. Wearing the ribbon demonstrates your commitment to safeguarding children, raising awareness, and opposing abuse in all forms.
​
Program Mission:
-
Raise awareness of violence and abuse against children.
-
Encourage individuals to take a stand, report abuse, and foster community responsibility.
-
Promote the understanding that no child deserves to live in fear, poverty, or harm.
-
Reinforce that abuse is a criminal act and never the victim's fault.
​
Launched in 2015 by Hearts and Hands, the Umbrella Hearts Ribbon Campaign seeks to unite communities in Australia and beyond to protect vulnerable children. Wearing the ribbon signifies a promise to speak out against abuse and advocate for every child’s safety and well-being.
Together, the community can ensure a brighter future for all children.
