White Ribbon Day,  25 November 2021 is a campaign calling for an end to male-inflicted violence against women and girls (VAWG). White Ribbon Day is followed by 16 days of action and activism to counter gender-based violence. This year’s leading message is #AllMenCan. Men can sign a White Ribbon pledge to not only show their commitment to ending VAWG, but also to not remain silent on the issue.
