At any age, we can all make a difference!
Our work aims to empower children and youth by giving them the skills they need to challenge inequalities and change harmful norms.
Our White Ribbon Accreditation programme is available for schools. Schools can also become one of our Supporter Organisations.
All White Ribbon Accredited and Supporter Organisations have access to comprehensive learning resources to use with young people.
