White Ribbon

As of June 2025, Learn Sheffield is proud to be a White Ribbon Supporter Organisation. White Ribbon prevent violence against women and girls by addressing the root causes of men’s violence against women: harmful attitudes, behaviours and systems around rigid gender norms and harmful expressions of masculinity that perpetuate gender inequality and gender-based violence.

The White Ribbon is the globally recognised symbol to end men’s violence against women and girls. Since the inception of the White Ribbon movement 34 years ago in Canada, the White Ribbon has become an important symbol in the fight to end gender-based violence.

Allyship is a central message of the White Ribbon; it represents men taking responsibility to challenge this issue and being allies, every day, to stop violence against women and girls before it starts.

Learn Sheffield will be raising awareness on White Ribbon Day on 25 November about why the cause is important and how we as individuals can take action to end male violence against women.
