White Ribbon Day

White Ribbon Day, observed on 25th November, is part of an international campaign to end male violence against women. It encourages men to take a stand against gender-based violence, wear a white ribbon as a symbol of their commitment, and pledge to never commit, condone, or stay silent about violence against women. The White Ribbon campaign, which originated in Canada in 1991, has since become a global movement for change, involving individuals, communities, and organisations.

White Ribbon Day promotes positive masculinity and seeks to engage men and boys in conversations about respect, consent, and equality. It encourages all men to play an active role in preventing violence against women and creating a safer society for everyone.
