365 Days for the Elimination of violence against women and youth
The White Ribbon initiative is one of the world’s largest campaign to end men’s violence against women and youth. It started in 1991 in Canada and is now active in close to 60 countries around the world. You find a list of all the White Ribbon partners on our website.
Violence against women and youth is a shameful reality throughout the world. Mostly men commit it. It is rooted in gender inequalities, and it still far too often goes unnoticed and unchallenged. The White Ribbon campaigns exist to change this.
We call on all men to examine their own behaviors and change;
We call on abusers to stop abusing and killing women.
The Swiss White Ribbon initiative is convened under the auspices of the Women’s World Summit Foundation (WWSF) and promotes its programs in French and German.
It includes a YOUTH ENGAGE-Ruban Blanc section, which offers free of charge training workshops to men and women (18-30) to become a representative or White Ribbon ambassadors.
