We support young people to identify the attitudes and behaviours that lead to gender inequality
children and youth
At any age, we can all make a difference!
Our work aims to empower children and youth by giving them the skills they need to challenge inequalities and change harmful norms.
Our White Ribbon Accreditation programme is available for schools. Schools can also become one of our Supporter Organisations.
All White Ribbon Accredited and Supporter Organisations have access to comprehensive learning resources to use with young people.
Why do we say children and youth?
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines “youth” as being between the ages of 15 and 24 . Our primary prevention works with both primary and secondary school-aged students.
