The largest effort in the world of men working to end men’s violence against women

We ACT because they … work to ensure men take more responsibility for ending violence against women

Violence against women is mainly carried out by men so it can only end if men take action.

White Ribbon is a national campaign calling on men to make a simple pledge “never to commit, condone or remain silent about violence against women.”

White Ribbon Campaign seek to engage men in tackling violence against women through campaigning, lobbying, organising and fundraising. They raise awareness about violence against women and the importance of men taking responsibility for tackling it by speaking out against it and challenging its root causes. They have recruited support from MPs, charities, public and private bodies, and celebrities. White Ribbon also support women’s groups and organisations carrying out work to end violence against women and girls.

The Istanbul Convention recognises the importance of men and boys’ role in tackling violence against women and girls. If ratified, the Istanbul Convention would ensure that the UK Government had to take necessary action to engage men and boys in actively preventing violence against women [Article 12.4]. The Convention would also ensure awareness-raising campaigns and programmes about violence against women as well as education at all levels of education about violence against women and girls, relationships, and gender equality [Articles 13, 14].
