About White Ribbon
White Ribbon Campaign is a men’s movement for ending violence against women and girls. We are working with a different approach to counter the issue of violence by addressing the patriarchal mindset of individuals and society.
We believe that men’s involvement in our initiative is a pre-requisite to combat violence against women. Justice can be provided by those who do injustice 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 challenge the systemic power imbalances that fuel gender-based violence, it is essential for men to stand in solidarity with women as proactive advocates for human rights. We recognize that men regardless of their personal history possess a unique capacity to influence their peers, motivating others to question and dismantle the harmful behaviors that perpetuate violence in all its forms.
Our mission is to redefine masculinity by demonstrating that it can be a powerful, positive force for protection and social progress. By sensitizing men to use their influence to prevent assault and harassment, we foster a society built on healthy relationships and a fundamental respect for gender equality.
Role Of Government
The role of the state is fundamental in securing the structural changes necessary for gender justice. White Ribbon operates on a Public-Private Social Partnership model, strategically engaging government departments to ensure that pro-women legislation is not only enacted but effectively enforced. By collaborating with the public sector, we advocate for the provision of essential rights including quality healthcare, education, and economic opportunities while strengthening the institutional mechanisms that allow survivors of violence to seek and receive redress.
Simultaneously, we recognize that national development is accelerated when women are fully aware of their financial, social, and legal rights. Through targeted education and advocacy, we empower women to navigate and claim their rightful place within the country’s institutional frameworks. We invite men and boys to join this collective mission; by standing in solidarity with White Ribbon, you become a vital partner in building a Pakistan defined by equality, safety, and shared prosperity.
