Preventing gendered violence
The abuse of women and girls is a complex and broad social problem associated with unequal gender and power relations and harmful constructions of masculinity.
White Ribbon Day is highly positive and significant in raising awareness about this global problem and its devastating social, health and economic effects. However, as the resources associated with this Day attest, effective approaches to addressing violence against women - that promote healthy, equal relationships among boys and girls - require more than consciousness-raising on a single day.
This program is about prevention with the aim of teaching boys, from a young age, that bullying and violence are completely unacceptable.
