25 November - White Ribbon Day 2020 - different but essential
This White Ribbon Day, Wednesday 25 November, and the 16 days to end violence against women that follow, we are asking people to find new ways to say ‘no’ to violence against women, despite the restrictions imposed by COVID-19.
White Ribbon Day is 25 November 2020
White Ribbon Day 25 November 2020 is more important than ever to end violence against women.
Looking back over 2019
This year White Ribbon UK has brought together more people than ever to work towards ending male violence against women. Very sadly, some of the most significant moments of 2019 have been led by the family and friends of women who have lost their lives because of male violence. We take very seriously our duty to build a legacy for every woman whom we have come to know by name, and for all women affected by male violence, by continuing and developing our work to change the male cultures that lead to such abuse. Our male volunteer ambassadors, who are prepared to take a stand, our women champions, and the many accredited and supporting organisations are all critical to us achieving this aim.

Leeds United support White Ribbon

16 Days of Action
November 25th is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, also known as White Ribbon Day.
On this day, we ask men everywhere to recognise the necessity for them to stand up and take responsibility in working towards a future without violence against women. The first step towards this is wearing a white ribbon and making the promise to never commit, excuse or remain silent about male violence against women.
A Thought For White Ribbon Day by the Bishop of Tonbridge
There’s a fashion today to reach for alternative facts when the truth is inconvenient. Where we succumb to this, we lose a grip on reality and have an excuse not to act. So let’s not do that.
