White Ribbon UK responds to appropriation of White Ribbon, the global symbol for ending men’s violence against women and girls.
It has been bought to our attention that a public figure who is currently on police bail for sexual offences wore a White Ribbon and attended a White Ribbon stand this week. This is completely unacceptable. Someone in this position who appropriates a campaign to end violence against women and girls diminishes the voices and experiences of victims and survivors. This person has no connection and has never had a connection with White Ribbon UK.
