Kanga supports White Ribbon Day

White Ribbon UK are the leading charity engaging with men and boys to end violence against women. The organisation is asking people in their communities and workplaces to come together and say ‘no’ to violence against women.

The 25th November marks White Ribbon day and Kanga have decided to become a White Ribbon Supporter Organisation. This means we are making 7 commitments that White Ribbon UK expect from their supporters:

1. Encourage all staff to make the White Ribbon Promise to never commit, excuse or remain silent about male violence against women
2. Recruit at least one male White Ribbon Ambassador (or woman champion if there are no male staff who can undertake this role)
3. Wear a White Ribbon and display it where appropriate – especially around White Ribbon Day, 25th November.
4. Post the ‘White Ribbon Supporter’ badge on your website.
5. Hold at least one awareness and fundraising event or activity a year. Many organisations will do this around White Ribbon Day 25th November.
6. Ensure you have policies or protocols in place if your staff or customers disclose that they are a victim of violence.
7. Make sure women know where to get help – this could be through posters, find help cards – we can offer suggestions suitable to your organisation.
