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.

What does it mean to wear a white ribbon?
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, including one on their coat so the ribbon will be visible while they’re outdoors. We encourage men to talk in schools, workplaces, and places of worship about the problem of violence. We
are planning a weeks worth of events at various businesses to promote the campaign. Details will be available soon.
