WHY IS WHITE RIBBON DAY IMPORTANT? 70% OF WOMEN IN THE UK say they have experienced sexual harassment in public. (APPG for UN Women, 2021) 3 IN 5 WOMEN have experienced sexual harassment, bullying or verbal abuse in the workplace. (Trade Unions Congress, 2023) NEARLY A QUARTER of girls in mixed sex schools said they had experiences of unwanted sexual touching in school. (EVAW, 2023) 63% OF MEN AGREE THAT MEN IN SOCIETY AREN’T DOING ENOUGH TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF WOMEN AND GIRLS. (YOUGOV, 2021) FAQS * What is violence against women and girls? We use the UN definition: “Violence against women’ means any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women'. (A/RES/48/104 – Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women) * Why does White Ribbon UK focus on men's violence against women, not all men are violent? The sad reality is, that the majority of violence against women is perpetrated by men. Whether that is a partner, ex-partner, colleague, or stranger. White Ribbon UK recognises that not all men are violent. All Men Can end violence against women and girls by challenging harmful attitudes and behaviours. * Why is White Ribbon Day on November 25th? White Ribbon began in Canada in 1991. White Ribbon was founded with the intention of getting to the root of the problem: harmful masculine traits and social norms around what it means to be a man. From its beginnings, White Ribbon joined with other campaigns around the world to mark the 25th of November. The White Ribbon became an important symbol for ending men’s violence against women. White Ribbon was one of the voices that campaigned for the UN recognition of the 25th of November as The International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, which was designated by the UN in 2000. If violence against women is to be eliminated it remains essential that men become part of the solution for change. * What is allyship? Allyship to women and girls is about helping to create safer and more equal spaces for everyone. To end violence against women and girls, men and boys need to be allies and challenge harmful behaviours and attitudes that affect the lives of women and girls.
