White Ribbon Day 2025

16 Days of Action

White Ribbon Day is all about standing up against violence — especially violence towards women and girls. It’s a chance for everyone to show respect, kindness, and equality in our friendships, families, and communities.

Each year, it kicks off the 16 Days of Action, a global campaign where people everywhere speak out, raise awareness, and take positive action to stop abuse and promote healthy, respectful relationships.

Throughout these 16 days, the Youth Development Service (YDS) will be running workshops, creative projects, discussions, and campaigns across its five youth centres, giving young people the chance to learn, share, and take a stand together.

Because everyone deserves to feel safe, valued, and respected.
