Training
White Ribbon UK offers specialist training to change cultures, promote positive masculinity and encourage allyship in workplaces and beyond.
Training can be of value for any organisation, whether you are looking to introduce new concepts, or develop good practice. White Ribbon UK’s training can be tailored to support solutions and upskill staff.
All training is intersectional – our speciality is working with men to be allies to women and girls. The harmful male cultures we work to positively overcome are also discriminatory towards other marginalised groups. We are clear that men can also experience domestic abuse and violence. White Ribbon training gives participants the skills to understand, reflect and challenge inequality appropriately.

Why is it important for an organisation to have training about violence against women and girls and allyship?
On average we spend one third of our lives at work. To end violence against women and girls, we must change cultures in all areas of our lives to foster healthy relationships and so women can live their lives free from the fear of harassment, discrimination and abuse.
Training to understand the issues surrounding violence against women and girls is important to identify and challenge harmful attitudes and behaviour, to develop a collective responsibility through allyship to women and girls.
