YOU Can End Violence Against Women and Girls

Below you'll find concrete ways that you can contribute to White Ribbon and Designer Brands' collective efforts to end gender-based violence.

Take the Pledge

The White Ribbon Pledge is simple. It asks you to never commit, condone or stay silent about violence against women. The first two parts are easy for a lot of us. The silence part is more difficult. Take the pledge and we'll help you find your voice.

Book a White Ribbon Workshop

All White Ribbon workshops acknowledgethat gender-based violence affects everyone, including male-identified individuals, but that women and girls (including transgender women and girls) are disproportionately and severely impacted by men’s violence. Participants are encouraged to share their views, experiences, and insights on gender-based violence, with the goal of promoting positive roles male-identified individuals can play to end gender-based violence.
