The White Ribbon is an international movement aimed at preventing violence against women and promoting gender equality. It encourages men and boys to take a stand against violence and to advocate for respectful relationships. The campaign began in Canada in 1991 and has since spread to many countries around the world. Participants often wear a white ribbon as a symbol of their commitment to ending violence against women. The movement also focuses on raising awareness through education and community engagement, emphasizing the importance of changing societal attitudes and behaviors that contribute to gender-based violence.
