When is white ribbon day




















The day is run by the White Ribbon Campaign. When men lead by example as allies for gender equality then change will happen faster.

We can all play our part — at home or work; on the sports field or in the classroom — every man has an important role to play in ending male violence towards women. White Ribbon Day has been running for 17 years, and was founded by a group of men in Canada who felt that they had to raise awareness and work towards prevention of violence against women. The White Ribbon Campaign and Day spread through Canada, with hundreds of thousands of people joining the event in the first year, and wearing white ribbons to oppose violence against women.

The event then spread beyond Canada, becoming international, and the UK branch of the White Ribbon Campaign was founded in and has continued to grow since then. The wearing of the white ribbon stands for never taking part in, condoning or staying silent about violence against women. And on White Ribbon Day, men and boys are encouraged to wear the white ribbon on November 25th and for a week or two afterwards to support and highlight that pledge.

The campaign distributes awareness information to schools, maintains a website and run events, and works tirelessly to prevent violence against women, undoubtedly saving lives and preventing injuries as it does. In our campaign we aim to link together resources and information to help show the diversity of the issues, and offer ways to effect change.

To do so, our focus is on educating and promoting four key behaviours:. This would have included both perpetrators and survivors. Perhaps next year! The Shine a Light poster above is just a draft and we plan to release the campaign poster as a pdf, a flyer and infographics in early November, which can be downloaded and printed. We have a range of designs to choose from, so please check out our sale page. If you are organising an event, please add it to our online events list and send through any promotional material to contact whiteribbon.

As more resources become available we will include them here so please check back next month. Download the campaign info here. Talk to women about their experiences with men — and believe what they tell you.
