Launched in 2006, the NFF campaign was a component of the government's domestic violence action plan and in direct response to recommendations of the Chief Coroner's Domestic Violence Death Review Committee. In partnership with the Arab Community Centre of Toronto, and OCASI, White Ribbon is leading a project to engage immigrant and refugee communities, including Syrian male-identified youth and adults to prevent gender-based violence and engage with the NFF campaign. Together we will identify 10-15 male allies/champions to facilitate awareness-raising events in the community. To learn how you can support the project, contact Kaoutar Kaddouri, Community Engagement Manager. The project is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services, Women's Issues.
​White Ribbon is one of the partners of the Draw-the-Line campaign created by OCRCC and AOcVF. Draw-the-Line is an interactive campaign that aims to engage Ontarians in a dialogue about sexual violence. The campaign challenges common myths about sexual violence and equips bystanders with information on how to intervene safely and effectively. Draw the Line educates Ontarians on how to spot sexual violence and empower them to make a difference. One in three Canadian women will experience some form of sexual violence in their lifetime. It is time for Ontario to draw the line. We must work together to make our communities safer. The project is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services, Women's Issues and the Ontario Ministry of Education.
White Ribbon is working in partnership with the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples to engage Indigenous men and boys to prevent violence against Indigenous women and girls. Together we have implemented a nation-wide needs assessment, and co-developed the Walking in her Moccasins Bundle. Visit the campaign video and be inspired here. The project is funded by the Department for Women and Gender Equality, Government of Canada.
White Ribbon and Students Commission of Canada are working together to offer youth across Canada the opportunity to design, implement and evaluate teen/youth programs to prevent dating-violence. With support from program curriculum design experts in Design Labs, youth will research, design, and implement their own dating violence prevention programs and initiatives across Canada. The project is funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada.
