About White Ribbon
White Ribbon Campaign is a movement of men dedicated to ending violence against women and girls. By addressing society’s and individuals’ patriarchal mindsets, we are addressing the issue of violence.
We believe that the involvement of men in our initiative is a pre-requisite for combating violence against women. People who do injustice can provide justice because they have the power to do both.

It is not sufficient to create awareness about women rights among women only but it is necessary that men join along with them to challenge the unfair power relations which promote gender-based violence.

Men in instances
To effectively challenge the unfair power relations which promote gender-based violence, men must join with women to create awareness about women’s rights.
Even where men are not a part of the problem, they can help bring about the solution. This is because they can motivate others to question and end violence against women in any form.
The aim is to sensitize men that masculinity can be used in a healthy and positive way to prevent violence and sexual assaults. This is in the hope of fostering better relationships based on respect for the other gender.
Role Of Government
At the same time, we are also working to empower women with awareness and education. We can accelerate the positive change in the country’s overall development if we educate our women on their financial, social, cultural, religious, and institutional rights.
On the other hand, the role of government is significant in providing basic women’s rights, such as the right to education, health care, and economic empowerment, as well as in designing and enacting pro-women legislation and ensuring systems for victims of violence to apply for redress. With our Public-Private Social Partnership model, we also engage relevant government departments in our advocacy interventions.
We invite all men and boys to join hands with the White Ribbon to support gender equality as together we can Stop Violence against Women!
