About Us

White Ribbon Pakistan 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 prerequisite to combating 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’s rights among women only but it is also necessary to engage men to challenge the unfair power relations that promote gender-based violence. Men even in instances where they are not a part of the problem can bring forth the solution by persuading others to question and stop violence against women in every form
