It was formed by a group of pro-feminist men in London, Ontario in November 1991 as a response to the \u00c9cole Polytechnique massacre of female students by Marc L\u00e9pin in 1989. The campaign was intended to raise awareness about the prevalence of male violence against women, with the ribbon symbolizing &#8220;the idea of men giving up their arms. Active in over 60 countries, the movement seeks to promote healthy relationships, gender equality and a compassionate vision of masculinity.<br \/>\nFor 16 days , starting on November 25th, thousands of people across the UK will wear a white ribbon , and to take a stand against violence.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/newcastle-upon-tyne\/files\/2018\/11\/whitw-ribbon.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-798 aligncenter\" src=\"\/newcastle-upon-tyne\/files\/2018\/11\/whitw-ribbon-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"399\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/newcastle-upon-tyne\/files\/2018\/11\/whitw-ribbon-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/newcastle-upon-tyne\/files\/2018\/11\/whitw-ribbon-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/newcastle-upon-tyne\/files\/2018\/11\/whitw-ribbon-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/newcastle-upon-tyne\/files\/2018\/11\/whitw-ribbon.jpg 1498w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Members of SI Newcastle upon Tyne, Christine Lowthian and Jill Smith and the Police and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":482,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-797","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>White Ribbon Campaign | News | Blog | Events | SI Newcastle upon Tyne<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Newcastle upon Tyne : Blog &amp; News : White Ribbon Campaign : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Newcastle upon Tyne .
