Today, March 20th, is National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence.
Bullying and violence are ongoing issues that affect countless Australians annually – in fact 1 in 4 Australian school students reported that they were bullied in the previous year.
There are some brilliantly unique initiatives happening to raise awareness this year, and one of these is Buderim Ginger’s fiery new social campaign The #GoGinger Challenge. The
nation-wide campaign will ask Aussies to take a stand against bullying
by snapping a selfie with a ‘Tinge of Ginge’ (this can be anything from a
ginger cat to a ginger wig) and posting it to Instagram, Twitter or
Facebook with the hashtags #GoGinger and #BullyZero.

The
more people that participate in the campaign, the more money Buderim
Ginger will donate. If over 100 people participate, Buderim Ginger will
donate $1,000, over 500 participate and they will donate $1,500, and if
over 1,000 people, Buderim Ginger will donate $2,000 to the
anti-bullying charity Bully Zero Australia Foundation.

provide support for victims of bullying and their families.

Why
is Buderim Ginger supporting this? Because it’s no secret that it can
be a tough world out there for Gingers, who have unfairly been misrepresented
on throughout history. From every day stereotypes to being on the sharp
end of teasing and name-calling, gingers have been labelled everything
from fiery-tempered, and promiscuous to evil and treacherous.

The challenge will run until 20th April, giving entrants one month to participate, the #GoGinger Challenge will
help raise awareness of the cause, and every photo will provide
much-needed donations to support Australian victims of bullying and
violence in a way that is uniquely ginger.
