FAQS

Is White ribbon Accreditation suitable for your organisation?

White Ribbon Accreditation is available to all organisations, of all sizes, at any point in their journey in addressing harmful cultures for women and girls that lead to gender inequality. Organisations interested in becoming White Ribbon Accredited must demonstrate a real commitment to ending men’s violence against women and girls by developing a three-year Action Plan, using a framework provided by White Ribbon to support you.

What is the value of becoming White Ribbon accredited?

You will join a community of hundreds of organisations across England and Wales who have made a commitment to stopping violence before it starts under the global symbol for ending violence against women and girls: the White Ribbon. Not only will this support your organisation in meeting legislative duties, you will be taking an organisation-wide approach to create a positive and safe work culture, whilst upskilling your staff with the support of our expertise.

Why is this important for your worklpace?

We spend over one third of our lives at work. Not all workplaces provide safe environments for women — especially when you consider that 1 in 4 women experience sexual harassment in their workplace, and over half change their commutes due to safety concerns. Violence against women has negative consequences, and workplaces are responsible in making sure everyone is safe and has the opportunity to live their lives free from the fear of violence.
