What is the White Ribbon Campaign (WRC)?
The WRC is the largest effort in the world of men working to end men’s violence against women.

Goals and Focus: What does it mean to wear a white ribbon?
Wearing a white ribbon is a personal pledge never to commit, condone nor remain silent about violence against women.

What happens during White Ribbon Days?
We urge men and boys to wear a ribbon. We encourage men to talk in schools, workplaces, and places of worship about the problem of violence.  This year, Crisis Call Center is working closely with the Reno American Marketing Association, local businesses and other clubs to promote the campaign.

For more information about the campaign, or to get your workplace involved, please contact Allison Edwards at Crisis Call Center: 784-8085
