Welcome to the White Ribbon Ireland Campaign page. White Ribbon is a campaign in over 60 countries worldwide which seeks to engage with men and boys on ending Violence against Women and Gender-Based Violence. White Ribbon Ireland is proud to be part of the global movement.
White Ribbon Ireland is a project of Men’s Development Network
This Project is supported by Cuan: the Domestic, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Agency.
The White Ribbon Post-Primary School Programme (WRSSP) is a comprehensive project targeting secondary school teachers, staff, and management. The first iteration and launch of the WRSSP was for the academic year 2022-2023 and engaged four schools – Temple Carrig, St. Oliver’s Community College, Bush Post Primary School, and the King’s Hospital. The WRSSP has three interconnected programme areas – E-learning Academy, Experiential training/Training of Trainers programme and Strategic partnerships.
The White Ribbon Organisations Programme is underpinned by the fundamental principles of equality, inclusion, engagement of men and boys in gender-based violence prevention, and a community-wide approach. The Programme aims to promote inclusivity and equity in Irish workplaces, and to work with organisations to develop a culture of safety and freedom from Domestic, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (DSGBV). The Programme’s focus is on engaging men and boys as active participants in the violence prevention efforts, in a way that is gentle, collaborative, strengths-based, and empowering so that they can be agents in achieving positive change.
