White Ribbon UK Information

White Ribbon UK is part of the global White Ribbon movement to end men’s violence against women*. We are the leading charity that is ending men's violence against women by engaging with men and boys to make a stand against violence. Our mission is for all men to fulfill the White Ribbon Promise to never commit, excuse or remain silent about male violence against women. We act as a catalyst, encouraging people, and especially men and boys, to individually and collectively take action and change behaviour. White Ribbon Ambassadors are men volunteers who engage with other men and boys to call out abusive and sexist behaviour among their friends, colleagues and communities to promote a culture of equality and respect. White Ribbon Champions are people who support our work, helping us to engage with men and work within communities. Women who are champions are an essential part of White Ribbon, ensuring that the voices of women, especially survivors of violence and abuse, are heard. White Ribbon Accreditation ensures organisations take a strategic approach to ending men's violence against women by engaging with men and boys, changing cultures and raising awareness. *Violence against women, means “any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life”.
