White Ribbon is an international movement to put a stop to men’s violence against women.
Although it now has an active global reach in over 60 countries, it was actually born out of a single, horrific incident in Canada. Formed by a group of pro-feminist men as a response to the École Polytechnique massacre of female students in 1989, the ribbon was chosen to reflect the idea of men giving up their arms, a symbol that still stands strong to this day.
White Ribbon Australia was established in 2007, and since then has worked to end men’s violence against women through Primary Prevention Programs and advocacy.
