White Ribbon Day

White Ribbon Day takes place on 25 November 2026, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, when White Ribbon UK asks everyone, especially men and boys, to help end men’s violence against women and girls.

Why White Ribbon Day matters

Violence against women and girls affects every community. Prevention starts with everyday attitudes, and support services need people who can help safely and with training. Explore gender equality volunteering.
