Mark your calendar for a significant day of global advocacy – White Ribbon Day taking place on November 25. Standing as an international day for the elimination of violence against women, the White Ribbon campaign has been mobilizing change since its inception in 1991. It began after a grave incident in 1989, where 14 women were tragically killed in Montreal, Canada, promoting men and boys to band together to challenge the social norms contributing to gender-based violence. The white ribbon, a symbol of men's opposition to men's violence against women, has grown to epitomize this global movement towards interpersonal peace. On this day, we motivate everyone to stand up, speak out, and break the silence in order to promote peace and harmony across all societies because everyone, undoubtedly, deserves a life free from violence. It's time to join hands and make this world a safer place for all!
