The White Ribbon Campaign (WRC) is a global campaign that engages men to end violence against women. Typically the WRC takes place on November 25th to December 6th. On these dates, men wear white ribbons as a “personal pledge to never commit, condone or remain silent about violence against women and girls.”

For more information about the WRC or if you’d like to organize a campaign, visit the official website by clicking here.
