The White Ribbon Campaign makes a public pledge to never commit, condone or remain silent about violence against women.

The White Ribbon Campaign does not represent an act of collective guilt by men, but rather of collective responsibility for working alongside women to create a world without violence against women. They call on governments to adopt and enforce laws on all forms of violence against women, and to properly support women’s programs.

Bernadette McCann House  supports and encourages the work of the White Ribbon Campaign. The White Ribbon Campaign is one of the largest groups of men working to end violence against women.
