Joining with men around the world

The White Ribbon Campaign (WRC) is the largest effort in the world of men working to end men's violence against women. The WRC was created by a handful of Canadian men in 1991 on the second anniversary of one man's massacre of 14 women in Montreal. They decided that wearing a white ribbon would be a symbol of men's opposition to men's violence against women. After only six weeks preparation, as many as 100,000 men across Canada wore a white ribbon. Many others were drawn into discussion and debate on the issue of men's violence.
