White Ribbon aims to prevent violence against women and girls by tackling its underlying causes. They engage with men and boys to transform deeply rooted, harmful attitudes, systems, and behaviors related to rigid gender norms and masculinity that contribute to inequality and violence.
Their focus is on prevention, with the goal of stopping violence before it starts.
White Ribbon Day, 25th November, is annually recognised as the day
men show their year-long commitment to ending violence against women and
girls.
The day inspires individuals and organisations to take
positive action to challenge harmful cultures and behaviours that lead
to violence against women and girls. White Ribbon Accredited abd
Supporter Organisations and White Ribbon Ambassadors and Champions are
vital in driving this culture change.
Every year, White Ribbon UK
works around a theme to raise awareness about men’s violence against
women and girls and the need for men to be part of the solution as
active allies.
Our work is preventative. We focus on supporting individuals and organisations to intervene before harmful attitudes and behaviours towards women and girls can take place. This work is called primary prevention; we want to stop violence from happening in the first place.
